Another not so perfect game but one with an interesting seki at the end.

Moves 10 and 14 seem incompatible.

At move 10, you invade the corner, probably judging that neither side allows a good approach move. I think your judgement is correct. Yet a mere two moves later, you decide that the corner is not so important and play the outside hane.
Move 14 at B18 would be sente. ( If he ignores it, you get to live in the corner - which is what you wanted, right? ) If he defends, then you could play D15 or C15 or C14.

28: A cuttable kiema from a one-eyed group.

48: You have a big one-eyed group, a small one at G12/F12 which can be laddered to death, and you start another group?
If you extend to H12 you are threatening to net both groups. ( H10 and G14 )
I'm too lazy to read it out, but it looks very close to a forced kill of one of them. Even without reading, H12 should appeal to you simply because it strengthens your group which is cutting two of his.

70: This is cuttable. F8 and G8 are not.

79: The shape move is, of course, 9B.


Cute seki at the end :clap:
