Moves 10 and 14 seem incompatible.

At move 10, you invade the corner, probably judging that neither side allows a good approach move. I think your judgement is correct. Yet a mere two moves later, you decide that the corner is not so important and play the outside hane.
Move 14 at B18 would be sente. ( If he ignores it, you get to live in the corner - which is what you wanted, right? ) If he defends, then you could play D15 or C15 or C14.

28: A cuttable kiema from a one-eyed group.

48: You have a big one-eyed group, a small one at G12/F12 which can be laddered to death, and you start another group?
If you extend to H12 you are threatening to net both groups. ( H10 and G14 )
I'm too lazy to read it out, but it looks very close to a forced kill of one of them. Even without reading, H12 should appeal to you simply because it strengthens your group which is cutting two of his.

70: This is cuttable. F8 and G8 are not.

79: The shape move is, of course, 9B.


Cute seki at the end :clap:
