Title: How/where can I get comments from strong players on my gameplay?
Question: I'd like to get advice from strong go players - let's say amateur 6D+ or pros. What are my options for getting that advice?  I am not necessarily looking for full game reviews, rather comments on one or two turning points in a game.
