Just as an FYI to anybody that's still watching this game... Here was my fantasy:

The marked stones, above, could be captured, but the cut at the marked intersection, above, would have been something I could look forward to (hence, the point of E11).

I wasn't afraid if he played this way:

The marked stone, above, was in a nice place to help my cut here.

But it's moot, I guess, because I didn't think that he would sacrifice his stones.

I respect him very much.

I think that that is the last nail in my coffin. I think I needed to reduce the right side and also connect the stones you just cut in order to have a chance.

I hope that it is not too early to do so, but I will have to stop here: I resign.

Thank you very much for the game.

I think that I particularly played poorly with this move:

It has no real meaning since I didn't read far enough. It serves no real purpose.

Of course, I did not read well here.

What do you think? I think that I played poorly here.

In any case, thank you very much for the game.
