C[Well, I played this game with the intention of improve my death & live skills...
But it didn't turn very well...
Even my fuseki and strategie weren't that good... -_-
So, please could you help me to improve my game?
Thank very much ^_^
(sorry for my bad english...)

Rev: I'll do my best.];B[pp];W[dd];B[dq];W[qd];B[co];W[kc];B[jp]
;W[qj];B[od];W[oc]LB[qf:A]C[REV:
You did not play a standard opening in that corner, so I can't say what
the best move is here, but maybe you should also consider less
agressive moves in this situation, such as "A".];B[pd];W[pc]
;B[qe];W[rd];B[re];W[pe]LB[nc:A]C[REV:
This cut is a very agressive move, and if you do it well, could work
out OK.  Maybe "A" would be safer.];B[pf];W[oe];B[nd];W[nf]
C[REV: This is good shape.  Black wants to play here.];B[nc]
;W[nb];B[me]TR[nf][oe][pe]LB[qf:A]C[REV:
Here you should be nervous about the three white stones (triangles). 
Maybe a cut at "A" would work?];W[mc];B[md];W[lc]C[REV: As you said, you missed the shicho.]
;B[of];W[ne];B[ng]C[I didn't saw coming the shicho...];W[qn]
TR[mc][nb][oc][pc][qd]C[REV:
Good move, but be careful of attacks around the triangles.  All those
diagonal connections are dangerous.];B[qo];W[cl]C[This is to threathen the low and then...]
;B[ci];W[em]C[cut the shicho...

REV:
Very clever.  Just be careful here, that the stones you are placing
don't give black more territory than you are gaining by winning the
shicho fight.];B[cf]TR[ci][cf]C[REV: Now black has a powerful group (triangles).]
;W[mf];B[le];W[qf]C[Then, i cut black stones in many places
REV: Good plan.];B[qg];W[rf];B[lg];W[og];B[pg];W[oh];B[rg];W[se]
;B[mg];W[ol]TR[of][pf][pg][qg][rg]C[I tried to expend my right side...
I though the stones on R13 where dead

REV: They look dead to me.];B[ph];W[oi];B[pi];W[pj];B[ql];W[pl]
;B[pm];W[qm];B[rl];W[on]C[I didn't think very well there...
I forgot that he could connect on Q6

REV: Correct.];B[pn];W[om];B[po];W[rk];B[qk];W[rj]TR[qm][qn]
C[I wanted to keep the stones on R13 alone so, I give up the two stones on R7]
;B[rn];W[mo]LB[oj:A]C[With this move, I wanted to reduce black territory

REV: Good idea.  Just be careful of the cut at "A".  Not yet deadly, but getting serious.]
;B[nq];W[lq]LB[lp:A]C[REV:  Too ambitious.  Maybe "A"?];B[lp]
C[and i misread the keima...

REV:  Indeed.];W[mp];B[mq];W[lo];B[kp];W[jn]LB[ce:A][hc:B][hp:C]
C[REV:
This is OK, but maybe a move somewhere near "A" would be good? 
Somewhere near "B" also maybe.  "C" also looks OK to me.];B[hp]
;W[io];B[ho];W[ip];B[iq];W[hn];B[gn];W[hm];B[fn];W[fm];B[en]
;W[hq]C[There, we entered a long death & live... I wanted to keep  black stones separated...]
;B[ir];W[dn];B[eo];W[do];B[dp];W[hr]TR[jp][kp][lp]C[I take some more liberties... aiming for the stones on L4]
;B[fp];W[lr];B[jq]C[This move caused me a lot of trouble...]
;W[fq]C[I try to gain some more liberties on the left side...]
;B[bo];W[eq];B[dm]C[I didn't saw this coming...];W[dl];B[cm]

(;W[kr]C[I think this move is wrong, I should have played at D2...
am I right?
(cf variation)
REV: I had a look, but I don't see white surviving anyway.]
;B[er];W[fr];B[ds]C[There I lost a lot of liberties...];W[ko]
C[so I tried to reduce the liberties of black];B[fs];W[gs];B[ep]
;W[es]C[and there come a long ko...

Rev: What does black do if he wins the ko?
I don't think it helps at all.
See variation later.];B[oj];W[nj]
(;B[ok];W[pk]C[There I entered a Shicho, not thinking that a shicho was such a ko threat -_-]

(;W[cr]C[Rev: I think this is a mistake, check the variations?]
;B[gq];W[es];B[dr];W[is];B[js]C[And there, I did lost the death & live...]
;W[je]TR[nc][md][nd][od][pd][le][me][lf][lg][mg][ng]C[So i wanted to keep black from having two eyes...]

;B[nh];W[oj];B[ii];W[ki];B[bk];W[kg];B[kh];W[jh];B[kf];W[ig]
;B[ji]C[REV:  OK, I give up.  This fight is too complicated for me.  I will send this game to a better reviewer.

I don't believe for an instant that you guys are 20k and 26k.  I'm 7k* igs, and I'm struggling to follow your game.]
