As I said before I am returning to the game after not seriously playing for 10 years or so - and naturally I've been losing 2/3 or so of my games played at my previous rank. Many of them have been quick bloodiy fighting losses, and obviously I need to work on tactics. However not all of my poor performance is for such clear reasons. Here's an example where I don't know quite what went wrong ( I did technically win, but only because it was a no komi game when I thought it was even). I've tried to provide comments that might be of interest to others, or at least to help explain where/how I lost the thread.

33: This is a small move. You can't hurt that corner. You have influence on the right side, and you just forced him to start moving out strong to the center which will tend to neutralize your influence. Instead, taking E15 youself is interesting.
But bigger is probably something like C6 or F3.

41: You are pushing him away from your wall and toward the open middle of the board - which is exactly where he wants to go. Instead, try something like M14 or N17 or L16

47: Pushing from behind

49: Using your wall to make territory is inefficient. Cap him at J13 while you still have a chance.

51-57: Why he did not just keep running is beyond me. Now you look ok.

59: Play O14. Offer him a trade: half of his group can live if you get a 35 point upper side. You would be about even in territory and he still has one eye.

61: Play the solid connection.

63: Tewari analysis: If you had played the solid connection at N11, and then he played M10, would you then play N10? Of course not - it would be too heavy. But that is exactly what you did, just in a different order.
