The distribution of stones before the growing phase largely determines the initial emerging territories. In this phase small advantages or disadvantages may soon grow bigger. An additional problem is that tactical attacks may force one into growth at a moment one would otherwise consider premature.
I'm still wrestling with ideas about how to handle this phase, because small errors will usually have big consequences once growing starts. Maybe white should have replied to
differently, for instance at J7 instead of K10.
As a reminder, the original game is being played at mindsports.

Of course I was forced to connect at Q10, which robs me of a growing option. On the other hand black must at some point connect three groups at K9, and the possibility of playing singles is appearing on the horizon again.
It's more than one point, and white doesn't really want to play at the point that was chosen.
or
was a local mistake, though I'm unsure how it balances against the gain in the upper-right corner. Killing with a placement would have been quite easy.
