Review instructions: 

This game has finished by a very close margin (1.5 point, could have been .5) and I felt its fate could have changed on every of the last 20 stones played. Did I miss something that could have given me a broader margin ?

Many thanks in advance to the reviewer !

Game summary: 

Nice game.

your endgame was pretty strong too.

You gave in the middle game many points up where you gave them to white for free (for example the lower left corner)

Try to look more at your opponents groups: how strong/weak are they, if they are weak: where do they run to, or where will they live. If you find the answer to these questions, then you can block their path, or reduce them heavily.
