Bottom right whites group is dead but white has most of the left side of the board. Still i don't understand why the resignation, couldn't he try to reduce and come up ahead?

Didn't white win by resign ? I guess black considered he couldn't win the semeai in the bottom right corner.

As a side note, I would say that the left side is still widely open, the only thing white has for sure here is the bottom left corner territory.

Because of the common liberty between the groups it is hard to see B killing W in the lower right. W probably gets a seki at worst. With the ko at the 1-1 point W is ahead in the semiai and I find it hard to imagine that B has a chance, especially as his group going up through the middle is close to death.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
