I added some of my own comments from self-review in here, I wonder if someone wouldn't mind taking a look at it and point out a few of my biggest mistakes.
Thanks kindly

Re: 9k vs 9k
A few comments:
w8 should be at f17
b9: make an extension at c10 or attack the weak white group at e17
w10 looks better at e17
b19: just reduce the gap to q10 with q6. If white q2, you can still block at r3.
b57: small. You got lucky that w answered that. Try to invade, e.g. f3.
b69: you cannot capture w this way. Notice the broken shape that w inflicts on b with move 70. You can attack with j7. The white n9 group is not alive yet.
b73: you just added a stone to a dead group. Good points seem to be l13 or e17.
b89: what does this move achieve? Better run with your weak group, e.g. g9.
b99: It's not that bad as it cashes in some territory. Maybe g11 would have been a bit better.
b111: Attack at e17 first, and while w is defending, you can try to make some territory around f17.
b131: a wasted move. You could use this as ko threat.
b151: just connect, otherwise w can cut at n16. You're lucky w didn't see that.
b277: b1. Otherwise w could have killed with b1
b279: b1. Capture and live. Doing tsumego would help you in such situations.

Thanks, I agree with all your comments. Much appreciated.Alguien wrote:I've added comments to the game about specific moves.
Avoid small moves and don't ignore urgent ones.

Re: 9k vs 9k
I think some letters and pointers weren't exported from my sgf editor.
Next time I'll only use variations.
For this one:
- Copy the following text.
- Put it (with notepad, or whatever) in a text file.
- Name the file whetever.sgf
- Open the file with an sgf editor.
