My thoughts:

1. Should I have invaded the top after 39? (or before 39?)
2. Can my group at 206 kill with optimal play from black? I think 218 or 220 at O17 would've allowed me so live. As you can see by the convo, I wasn't very confident invading at all.

I won by 9.5 with a komi of 6.5

I tried to be thorough. It might be a bit overwhelming, but just try to get some of the concepts as best as you can.
