Requesting general review. So, I won this game but only because my opponent made a dumb mistake late game and gave me his corner. I had two handicapped stones but I don't know how I fell behind by mid game. Thank you for the help.

I don't think you were as far behind as you think. I think the game was very close up to the point where you got the bottom right corner. I think you were quite ahead in the early middle game, but white made up a lot of ground in the center after that. If you made any mistakes, it was in not dealing with the center earlier. Here are some comments. I think you played very well. I also tried to make it clear when I was sure of a comment and when I wasn't. Hopefully, others will correct any mistakes I made!

A few comments on the opening. The variation on the right side is a bit advanced, but it shows how to use aji.  Main focus: Avoid passive play. |

Major potential for improvement: You tend to swallow dead stones small scale where bigger points are available 70, 72, 74, 80, 116 Another common technical issue: don't attach to stones you want to attack; angle plays have a similar effect: 26, 30, (176: it works, but is not best style) Missed opportunities to kill some vital stones 52, 162 (not easy to see perhaps) You take territory, then reduce enemy moyo, which is a consistent strategy. You play some technically good moves (knight's moves, often) |

Where should black play instead? And how concerned should black be about the cuts at B or C? |

Thank you all for your review. I found them insightful and frankly... brilliant |

My intuition may betray me, but it is hard for me to get too worked up about a cut from a stone that looks like this: |

I hope my reply was not taken in the wrong spirit! I meant literally that 1) I hadn't read anything out, so I could be wrong; 2) my intuition tells me that the cut is very unlikely to be successful. The zooming-in was meant to demonstrate graphically just how weak that stone is. |
