Black 5: Black should make the other shimari, preventing White 6
which is a better move for White than the other kakari because it
is an extension from a white position.

White 8: With black 7 already on the board the exchange of 8 for
9 (A) is bad for White. White should attach at 9 instead.

White 10: Too slow, White needs to extend along the side to give
his group a base, with 10 White has given Black a target to attack
and a splendid opportunity to seize the initiative thereby.

Black 11: Not yet necessary.

White 12: A more normal move would be to extend to 31 (A) in front of Black's shimari, or make a shimari himself. These are big points but protecting 6, 8,and 10 is urgent. Preventing the opponent from taking the initiative is more important than territory.

Black 13: Much the same remark applies to this and a lot of the
following moves.

White 18: White should pincer 15 and 17 which would also be an extension.

Black 21: Black should protect 15 and 17 first because White can
make territory while attacking them.

Black 23: Black's worst move so far. White should have been very
relieved to be able to play 24 (A).

White 26: This move and a further extension from 24 are miai of
sorts but it would seem better to play the extension as it is also a
pincer on 25.

White 28, Black 29: Black should cut off 28 by playing at 31 (A).
One reason for this is that if white answers 29 (B) at 31 himself then
13 is left on a silly point.

Black 53: This is an attack from the wrong direction. Black should
play 54 (A), Black 21 does not need strengthening. White will
probably force that himself if himself if Black attacks from 54.

Black 57 to 63: The attachment and crosscut is a useful tesuji, but
Black would do better by playing 57' at 58 (A) to take the eyes out
of the whole group.

White 86: The game record ends here. Black chose to play at B, taking away the eyes of white's group, but it might have been better to shut it in with A, securing his two stones on the side while attacking.
Geoff eventually succeeded in cutting the White group in the centre in half and killing part of it. He won by 20 points.
