Hi. I thought this was one of my best games with the fewest mistakes I've made in a while, but I ended up losing by 29.5 points. I played black. (Edited. Thank you!) Please explain what my biggest mistakes were and how I could go about fixing them. Thank you in advance.

Hi IV,

:b11: Factors to consider which side to block include:
- Which side is more profitable for Black ?
- Which side is more difficult for White ?

:w14: S15.

:b17: What's the status of W upper right corner ?
If B drops to S15, what's the status of W ?
If B drops to S15, W is dead shape locally. Even if W replies at S16.
:b21: S3.

:b23: Why ? Did you misread ?
No reason to have a stone at S6.
Did you consider other local moves ?
Locally, S3 turn is big. Other local options: R7, Q6.
:b27: D13.

:b33: B2.

:b39: Very strange. Why ? (Common beginner mistake? )

:b57: Bad habit, and bad instinct.
What are you trying to accomplish with this stone ?

:b71: H9 (real eye); your move makes a false eye after :w72: .

:black: 101 Basically a Pass.

:white: 104 J11.

:white: ( 103, 105, 107 ) This combination is terrible for White.
Please see Toothpaste .

:black: 111 J13.

:black: 115 Atari H14, then connect G12.

:white: 116 Connect E11.

:black: 123 Basically a Pass.

:black: 145 Very strange. Connect at o18.
See :b17: notes.

:white: 146 Mistake.

:black: 147 Mistake. Can you find the correct local move ?
P14 -- do you see how it works ?
