His move starts to trap my D7 stone. I'll sacrifice it if he wishes to kill it, but in return he will have to let me slide under into his eye space.

He can kill it now with one move, but while he does so, I can attempt to rescue it and turn it into a false eye. He then gets one eye along the side.

If he takes two moves to capture it, he can turn it into a real eye, but with my intervening two moves I can slide into his eye space along the side.

There is also one other line in which he captures D7 AND blocks my invaders underneath
but I play D8 - and in some lines C8 - leaving him with one big eye.

I don't have time to edit and post diagrams, but I can say with 99% certainty that this white group is dead.

@ Observers:
I almost went for this line. It seems more solid than the line that I played.

But white lives with ko. :o :o :o

I assumed that he would continue with the vital point at B8, and that I would prevent the second eye with D8:

...because one of the netting stones gets laddered first.

Therefore white dies, right? It looks like he does. ( A9 and A7 are miai )

However, if D8 is good for me, then according to the proverb, it should be good for him.
I was idly looking at it, assuming that I would kill easily if I got the vital point at B8.

First, he plays A10, threatening to either kill B10 for an eye, or connect underneath to his stone at B13. I have to reply.

There are more complicated replies than this, but they all end in sente for white, and they all prevent the black connection underneath at A9.

Next, white attempts to capture the D7 stone:

It now gets more complicated. Black has the mouse-stealing-oil tesuji. :D

The failed ladder has two side effects. It gets white his second eye, but it shorts white on crucial liberties and endangers his first eye. So black attempts to rescue his vital point stone, white blocks, and black completes the tesuji:

In advance I thought that this gives me more chances than C4 or A4 but may be I was wrong.

I think I made a mistake in English in my previous comment. It should probably be "Couldn't find anything better" not "nothing better".

The first is like this. Numbers to mark stones finished earlier than the variation so it leaves some hope.

If he accepts the triggers, white creates one eye at B8. ( The circled points are miai )
He might not do them immediately, but he has to sooner or later. If I get A7, that destroys the westward miai pair, then in some variations D8 by me threatens to make one big eye with D7. So I suspect that he will accept the triggers.

Once he has one eye secured, the focus switches to the second one. He has to make it in the middle of the board.

If he cuts at 1, I have to respond with 2, otherwise he kills my lower left group.

I think that I can kill. At least, in all variations that I have looked at, I can. ( Although some liberties races that I have read are in my favor by only one move. )

We have managed to get ourselves into a game-deciding fight here. If he dies, I have a 60+ point corner, giving me a winning advantage. If he lives, much of my lower side territory is compromised, giving him a similar advantage.

I expect that one of us resigns within 15 moves.
There is one compromise possible. He could concede the left side group and play the invasion of 1 below, and if I tried to trap it, it would be just enough to tip the fight in his favor. So I'd have to let him have a successful invasion.

I don't think that we will see this. Based upon my opponent's current play, compromise does not seem to be his style.

He chooses the most complicated version. :clap: My groups will be hanging on by their fingernails.
I hope nobody slips. There is no room for error here.

Again, I almost stumbled into disaster.

He has one eye, and if he gets another, his group lives and he wins the game.
I can't let him capture D7 and make an eye there.

The natural move to play is this. It seems to be the most direct method of connecting D7 out:

I can't let him play 9 or he will kill my corner.

Now with 10 he threatens both my single stone and my group of three. I must rescue the three, or he makes an eye there.
[ The really sharp-eyed observer may note that a different play here leads to a ko, but that isn't much of an improvement for me since he has a bunch of internal ko threats. ]

He captures my single stone. It is a false eye, of course, so I'm still in the game.

I play 3 which will gain some leverage in the future. ( More on that later ) His reply at 4 is forced. Then I save my three stones with 5. He still only has one eye.

I could play 7 at C1 or D1. It does not get any better. My corner is cut off and still needs another move to have two eyes.

Note that if I had not sacrificed at 3, he could now play 8 at B1, killing my corner.
