Hi. This is a short game, my opponent resigned on the 85th move. But i have some doubts about situations that happened in this game. I put comments on some moves, just to tell what i was thinking or to ask something.
I'm Black. Thanks in advance.

Hi Wellington,
You played well up to here. Did you read the cut P11.
Even if you want the right side, you still push first at Q17.
After W replies at Q18, you can still decide which side you want.
But not pushing first is too good for W.
After the Q17-Q18 exchange, if you want the top, then hane p18 + connect P17.
Else if you still want the right side, then turn at the game move;
W can tiger's mouth S18, you atari S17, W connects, you have sente.
A standard corner shape; good to learn it.
Nothing to build there for B, unless you want to attack W's dragon,
but it's not your target at the moment. Better to tenuki and take a big point instead.
Not good for W.
Yes, you wanted to attack W.
W ignored -- did you read N17: if W pushes at O16,
you connect N16, happy to give up the (now) useless Q16 stones.
Even if you don't see N17, M16 is also a big local follow-up.
W's dragon is a problem for W forever. It is negative points for W.
You can tenuki and take the big points first, and let W worry about it for a long time.
Strange feeling. L9 direction ( profit on the outside ) is natural.

Re: OGS 8k vs 8k game
No, i didn't. Just wanted to connect my two groups.I did not read N17. Guess i was too focused on the W's Dragon. So i should've sacrifice my Q16 stones to create thickness?
Didn't think about L9, again to focused on trying to kill the Dragon. Thanks.
