I have commented this game and would appreciate some feedback. I won, but the whole game was entirely scary because of his unorthodox influence-oriented play.

I'm getting "invalid game data". Can anyone else see the game?

One comment about your own comment...

"I have five liberties, so I can leave the contact fight."

This may be a recommendation from somewhere but you should read and figure this out rather than going on just proverbs. Also just because you can do something, should you do it?

Exactly; that's one basic guideline from Mr. Wilcox, who also explained further that
"reading and judgement supersede all proverbs and guidelines" (my paraphrase).

The start of the game makes me think your opponent had read this: http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... =18&t=3024
