You don't actually need the points in the corner to win, though... Indeed, if you insist on keeping them, I'm not sure if you can win. B6, b8, a5, c9, a3, and you win. Otoh, I think that after a8, b9, c9 (trying to keep the corner), b6, white captures.

Re: How could I have recognized this?
Ohhh! I had read the thing about 6 in the corner and its critical point before but I wasn't thinking about it like that. Now I can see what you mean: that's the shape it was going to end up as, so I should have been planning ahead to that. Thanks!
