Hey Guys! I tried to slow down my game as topazg and snorri suggested in my last game post. I noticed how it improved my game and thinking so I will try to decelerate even more. But as several exams are coming up to me, this will be my last game for some weeks, so I would be excited about some comments on the game.
And please don't be too harsh about the quasi-semeai in the lower left corner - I know, that I've seen the death of the black group much too late.

Re: Next Try
Thank you so much for your review! It was especially helpful as you commented mainly on moves where I didn't knew for sure where to play.
And I promise to lower my speed much more in my next games!!!
