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.

Online playing schedule: Every tenth February 29th from 20:00-20:01 (if time permits)
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).
