the game looks good for W. B now has two weak groups, and W should be able to profit from the attack. In fact, killing one group or the other seems quite possible, so it might be best for B to work out a good way to sacrifice something to avoid such a disaster.
, you executed the double attack perfectly. The two B groups are separated, neither group has a base, and both groups have become too big to sacrifice. B is in big trouble.
is slack. This lets one group get a base, and has little effect on the other group. Try playing out some sequences starting with P17 or Q18 and see if B can live inside or escape. Even if B manages this, W will get much more strength in the process than a single stone at L13.
more or less settles the upper group (W still has aji around P18), the R12 group has become extremely weak. The safety of this group dwarfs any merely large play elsewhere on the board. If W attacks at S11, will B tenuki to play something like D6? W could then capture on a large scale with a move like O10. That might actually be the best plan for B, but I can't see it happening in this game. When the S12 group starts running, W will get to attack it profitably for the next 100 moves.
was a very narrow extension from a strong group. Step back from the board, look at the big picture, and see if a move like C14 or D14 doesn't look better. I think W needs to use the strength of the K13 and C6 stones to do more than make a few points of territory. With this stength in the background, an invasion will not come under strong attack, so you can easily break up the B position here. In fact, the lone B stone at D11 would look just as weak as the W "invasion" stone. So it would be better to think of the suggested W move as a splitting attack, backed up by strength, rather than a weak invasion to reduce B territory.
is an interesting idea, if the plan was to force B to live down here, in order to build up strength to attack K9 and R12. But locally you gave B a lot of territory and lost sente. Another common idea is to play the sequence M4-M3-O4, to press B low and make outside thickness in sente. Or you could play a double-purpose move like L5, threatening the K9 stone as well as placements below like M2. However, none of this thickness will matter if K9 and R12 both manage to live. So again this seems like a good time to attack, before B can make a base. S11 still looks like a good place to start to the attack. You can play forcing moves against the lower group later as needed, depending on how the attack develops.
on the 5-3 point, as I dont know any thing about that point for now, I think its a good opportunity for me to strat studying that point.
is not in the answer to
... so is
is good. Very good, IMO.
and
is questionable. Better to secure the corner by a play at 10 or probably "a".
is good. It makes a base for White and attacks on both sides.
is not so good. It invites the hane at "b", which strengthens Black.
. The difference between one side or the other getting the hane at the head of two is huge.
there is a difference between leaving things open (not forcing your opponent to take thick positions) and playing tenuki when there are urgent moves to be played. At this point, white already has 2 moves he really needs to take: P3 and something to stabilize the right side. P16 also seems nice.
is fine locally, but
is wishy-washy. You are invading a 3-space extension, not playing a corner joseki. You can maybe invade the corner later, but should do something with the original stone, or use it to live in the corner in a larger manner.
is small when the right side is still so urgent.
: just seal off the right in sente and then take a big right-side point.
Reading exercise: If you play D2 and black cuts you off at E4, can you live in the corner? This is not a trivial question, but is also somewhat complicated.
Black is too strong here. This is not an invasion, but suicide. The time to do something here (if you wanted to) was before you gave black the wall extending down from the center-top.
too I can play it at "a" to help 
? ok... maybe I will skip the first 4 corner moves...
... well not really a tenuki... that's a san-ren-sei
the first tenuki ?, I would say no... it's still related to the previous moves and helps the H3 H4 stones...
? still not a tenuki to me...
is the first tenuki to me...
where Black makes a clear choice of continuing to harass the White group. With
