This is a game I played last week as white. I decided to review it quickly (I only looked at it attently at the middlegame) today and saw some very bad mistakes:
I think I should have played move 200 at Q10, and probably should have played move 204 at N11... I also really don't see the point in my move 240 (should have been at J3 instead?), and I have no clue why I played move 276... It turns out I'm still playing a lot of blunders (it gets even worse than that when I'm sleepy, for obvious reasons)...
Could I have made something else to try to win more points at the end? Also, is my opening too bad? It often felt like I was doing a lot of mistakes (specially move 24). Any suggestions?

Interesting game.

;C[*** Again, a Black extension around here would be ideal, forming a double wing in the top left and working with the Black stone in the top right. The White move in the game is similar, but a bit smaller, lacking an enclosure. Therefore, a White wedge here is a bit better. Also, even with komi, White should avoid letting Black have an easy opening.]W[jc]

(
;C[*** An extension around here by Black would be good, because of the enclosure, better than a Black extension on the right side. Therefore, a White extension here is better than one on the right side.]W[ci]

Interesting game.
Thanks for the review! I learned a lot about fuseki from it.
