C[The top is not important at the moment. This move seems only \
to have the purpose of grapping some territory but neither secures \
or threatens anything. (If anything it induced White G18)
In the opening, I think it is more important to look for multi-purpose \
moves.
E.g. C6!
White really wants to play there because it would work nicely \
with his strength in the top right corner.]
;W[gb];B[ec]
C[I pondered a while if Black has to answer G18, but I think it \
is safe. There is a lot of nasty Aji in the corner.]

C[I don't know about this one. Black C3 makes nice shape (K3!) \
and ends in Sente. White can't enclose the leftside with one \
move (C9 would be pretty near White's thickness).
This move seeks trouble. If Black ends up weak, White can attack \
severely because of the center-facing stones in the top left.
See variation.]

This move creates more weaknesses for White than it troubles \

when you take out E3. And you didn't even took E3, so I don't \
know if you should push then in the first place.

C[Hm... don't like the spirit behind this move ^^
First it only aims at making life but you are out in the center, \
aren't you?
Secondly White has no time anyway to attack you severely because \
his D6-group is still weak.

through the gab.
And as Ed Lee likes to point out: The marked stones now form \
a broken Keima - bad shape ; )]

C[Forcing your opponent is usually good but with K3 there is no \
point in defending down there, I think. It's endgame and even \
Gote.
If you just calmly extend it will further weaken White's group \
above. If White defends it you can still take out those two stones \
any time you want.]

himself so he can freely chase Black toward his thickness. Simultanously \
White will become strong while attacking, aiming at H3.]

Black gets a nice wall which works together with K3.]

split my group in two and caused lots of trouble. I was able to sacrifice one of the groups for some profit on the left, and entering yose I counted myself about 5 points ahead. White must have counted similarly, because he started this attack:

and the result wasn't too bad.
