Hello,
Please someone can help-me with a review about this game?
Mainly how to deal with the early invasion at move 34.
I’m black, I won by time, but I was 30 points behind the opponent in the end of the game.
Thank you very much!!!
A good weekend for all!
Please, I would like a review about this 2kyu/5kyu game

The big strategic decisions you need to make when white invades are:
1) Do you want to connect your groups above and below?
2) Do you want white to connect out through that gap to the centre?
3) Do you want to let white connect the invasion to the group below?
Whether what you want is possible will require some reading particularly if you want all the answers best for you (yes, no, no) but in the game your play wasn't consistent with an answer to these questions. What was your thinking in the game?

A few top of the head comments. 
Why not cut at P-06?
The problem with this move is that it makes it easy for White to connect. How about something like R-09?
Not good. After
the
stone is wasted. You need to block at O-11.
The keima at N-09 is usual. This play is heavy.
Greedy overplay.
Topping the tree, but too far from the sector line. Better to play between the White stones at someplace like. L-14. Even better to attack the White group in the bottom right with a play like M-07.
Low and slow. Too close to Black strength.
Ditto.
The Adkins Principle:
At some point, doesn't thinking have to go on?

Everything with love. Stay safe.
