Hey guys,
this weekend I attended the tournament in Bonn. I won three out of the six rounds, but I'm far from being satisfied with my play. Below you find my game from the third round. I was Black. From move 129 on I thought that I caught up a lot - catching twelve stones in the proceeding game - but I still lost by quite a margin. I often forget to remember the komi during the game, but still I thought that the game would be closer. So if you could point out how I got behind so much especially in the first half, I would be very thankful.

This looks wrong. by pincering 
black can strengthen H16 and keep D17 group weak.
now it looks like neither white group is in trouble
- 
you let white connect his weak group to a strong group by trying to escape with your stone.
. Black's formation would be fine on the third line, but not the second. Low play has cost Black at least 3 points already. Maybe twice that.
The knight's approach may be better. See following comments.
Neither player has much future on the left side. Maybe the Avalanche is better.
Time to play elsewhere. Like approaching the bottom right corner from the right side.
What mitsun said. It may be best to switch to the right side now. 
My feeling is to jump into the 3-3. White does not have much of a future on the right side.
Now I would play M-04. The threat of M-04 is one reason I ran out.
As mitsun says, the jump to H-14 is big. It threatens the White group in the top left, as well as to invade or reduce White's incipient framework towards the right.
Oh, dear!
