After this failure in the corner, I think it is time to resign.
Move 63 kind of re-enables the cut at H14 and with a weak group in the middle and a near-dead group on the top side I cannot find any time to invade the moyo in the top right. You skilfully dodged the attack on your bottom group (after I 'misclicked' my invasion, by the way ^^) by sacrificing the corner. Another key move, which I should have been able to get, was protecting your top right corner. Well done!
It all started after my stupid attempt to cut your knight's move cap, and went downhill from there.

One question to you and to 'the crowd'. Did I resign to early? I find it hard to find the right moment for this. Of course I don't want to take your joy away of crushing me (of course in secret I do, but I will never admit!). On the other hand playing a lost game a waste of our time.

If you're referring to moves 12-14, once you start to cut, you need to continue.

Yeah you're right.
I've just reviewed the game, and that I did not capture this stone was so... strange.

Oh, I mean earlier than that... right when the pushing battle started, white could have cut.

I could have, the fight did not seem favourable to me though. Then again, I just did not like my move to lean against the knight's cap because neither fighting nor pushing seems attractive in hindsight.

Arguably issues stem back earlier than that, because by that point, the fight wasn't that great. On the other hand, ceding 5th or 6th line territory to run on dame instead wasn't exactly ideal either. To be honest, for move 6 I rather favoured an approach to the 5-3 stone. Perhaps on the 4-5 point. That's a completely different game, though. Also, I will be the first to admit I am far from having a perfect understanding of go.
