Peaceful, even, very close game. Comments wanted

This is something I played recently. I was black, and I eventually won by 0,5 points. I was quite pleased with my play, but I'm sure there are plenty of mistakes waiting to be pointed out, so all comments are welcome.

216 moves in 10 minutes = less than 5.6 secs/move. A few quick ideas:

Thanks for the comments. How does your variation at move 89 (F7) work, cant white capture the two black stones with D7, which to me seems quite bad for black?

your move dos not prevent D7 either.

You're welcome. Once W is out, your 2 B stones are no longer cutting stones (see note at ).
If your 2 B stones were important to you, you could've just connected at .

A few thoughts:

You might think about a move like J17 instead. The right side seems smaller than the top to me.

I prefer approaching the lower left (C6), you have more support there. Maybe that's just style, though.

I still prefer C6, or maybe F3 now. This slide is big, but can he afford to tennuki? A sequence like C6-K18-F3 seems better for black.

Why not at A10? It seems to catch the stones without ko. Am I missing something?

:b129: H17 seems bigger.

You are absolutely right. I totally misread it while playing, and didn't bother to read again afterwards.

Thanks again. I saw the note, but I thought that at that point white was "more" out than at 89.

Thank you. As for B45, I thought I need to do something in the upper left before it develops to a big moyo.

I'll respond to this, too:

216 moves in 10 minutes = less than 5.6 secs/move.

It's true that 10 mins games are awfully quick, but I seldom have time to play a long game, and I thought I rather post this than nothing.

At move 17, P10 is probably necessary. But then he is ahead of you. So if you keep pushing, he gets more out of it then you do. Move 19 should be at N9.
Again, 21 should be at M9.

57 is not necessary. He can't cut: S16 and R15 are miai. You could play F4 or C6.
