the game is definitely over.. corner is secured.
i see that my opponent has not yet developed a spider sense like i have.
the corner invasion was very threatening and i didnt exptect that move from him.
it scared me a bit but the bad aji in black saved me. i think he will resign soon.

This is a very difficult ko for me to win, and I don't have a ton of threats on the board. If I play at "a" below, I'll have to play at each of the spots marked at "x", while holding onto the ko (at which point I would have the option of taking seki by filling in the ko, or by trying to kill.
$$Bcm1 Diagram 1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1 Diagram 1To add to the difficulties, white could also set up another ko for me to deal with:
$$Wcm1 Diagram 2
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm1 Diagram 2Which would still make for a lot of steps for me to win the ko. This means ignoring a lot of his threats, and he has to answer a lot of mine.
I thought about simply answering at "a" in Diagram 1, but there is a good chance that white will tenuki since it will take me so many steps to win the ko.
So I am going to try to win the ko, because I think it's my best shot in this game (which still isn't that great of a shot), but I'm going to play here first. Hopefully this will get me another ko threat or two so that I can have a chance of getting something out of the ko.
I have to keep the ko alive, I think, or all that I've done in the corner is futile. But I need a couple more ko threats, first.
If he responds to this in the corner, then I'm going to try to play at "a" in Diagram 1, and try to get something. At this point, there's a good chance it won't work. I'll resign, then. I'm going to try this first, though.

I realized I made another mistake. Last time, I commented on the following sequence by white:
$$Wcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm1And I was thinking of the following:
$$Bcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1And I wouldn't have to be afraid of double ko. But this doesn't work. For one, white wouldn't play a threat at 6, and could take the other ko. Another simple example is:
$$Wcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm1So it just doesn't work.
So it looks like I'm going to resign soon. If white plays "1" in the diagram above, I will resign immediately.
