The overplay did not yield the desired result. drishti rises to the level. Now I wonder: how would he have responded to this move?

I need to lay low for a little bit. My hope is that Black becomes careless about the liberties of his group on the right, which could offer me a chance to make something happen there. Specifically, I am aiming to play (for sake of eyespace) and if the marked group ends up having only two liberties.

Incidentally, in the game was not the best move point-wise. Black should have started with , but I'll write more about that later.

Black's last move is very strong! I was thinking of K7, but this cleanly captures the two stones.

I'm kind of baffled by how this is even possible. Black has one eye and miai for a second eye at L12 and H8, the connection to the rest of black's stones notwithstanding.

Why did black have 9 stones?

Because I keep winning with 9 stones, why else? (We'll probably move onto 8 stones after this game, though.)

A bad misread on my part. Now I won't be able to pose Black with too many problems. But okay, "never give up, never surrender," so let's see if I can miraculously capture the huge Black group in the middle. Afterward, I'll try to live inside Black's territory on the right. If both of these attempts fail (which I expect them to), then I'll resign with clear conscience that I've exhausted all my chances.

drishti rises to the level. 
Now I wonder: how would he have responded to this move?
, 
(for sake of eyespace) and 
in the game was not the best move point-wise. Black should have started with 
, but I'll write more about that later.
