Hi everyone,
This is my most recent loss. I think I picked up a few mistakes on my own, but I haven't had a game reviewed by stronger players for a while, so, I'd really like some comments. Thanks in advance!

You were just one good move a way from a win.

If you simply avoid vague moves like M5, you will improve by enough to beat this guy next time.
Also, try to think in terms of light and heavy. Be willing to abandon stones, either permanently or temporarily. ( see

If you are referring to the moves starting at

then yes you are correct.
And even worse black is pushing from behind so white is getting more and more.
