Not sure if I won or lost

Trying to count up the stones, and I think I have either won by a half moku or lost by a half moku.

I am unsure how to count the last capture left in my territory.

As it stands I decided not to count it as it would take a stone to capture it. I would lose territory in order to gain a prisoner.

My last cut I could do leads to nothing but peril(unless the opponent makes a mistake) that I can see.

This is what I came up with:

Black: 21 & 10 Prisoners 31moku
White: 25 +6.5komi = 31.5moku

Is this correct? I believe the game is over, and at a stand still with no profitable moves to be made by either side, but I am not sure if this is right.

Thanks

If you would like to comment on the game as well that would be great (I do not see it going anywhere else from here it is pretty much over from what I can see.)

You do not need to explicitly capture dead stones. At the end of the game (with the agreement of the opponent) they are removed from the board and counted as a prisoner without requiring further play. If scored black would win that game by 1.5 points (2 extra from you, 1 for the extra prisoner and 1 for the extra territory under it).

P.S I made some comments on OGS.

AHHH

After seeing 19-21 I feel pretty ridiculous :D More like blind :grumpy:

Sigh if he would have seen that it would have been the end of the game.

Move 27 was an obvious mistake.

Sigh can't believe I missed all of these captures.

:lol: and I thought it was a good game :D

Thanks for the comments Uberdude you really cleared up where I could have played better. helped tremendously I will go over this on my board as well.

Thanks!
