Hi everyone,

This is my most recent loss. I think I picked up a few mistakes on my own, but I haven't had a game reviewed by stronger players for a while, so, I'd really like some comments. Thanks in advance!

You were just one good move a way from a win. :clap:
If you simply avoid vague moves like M5, you will improve by enough to beat this guy next time. :rambo:

Also, try to think in terms of light and heavy. Be willing to abandon stones, either permanently or temporarily. ( see http://senseis.xmp.net/?Light and http://senseis.xmp.net/?Heavy )

If you are referring to the moves starting at :b51: then yes you are correct.
And even worse black is pushing from behind so white is getting more and more.
