i wanted to write to black "head up, fight like a man!", but in the end it felt like too much influencing the game, so i will continue rooting for him silently
i've already thought that the 101-102 exchange just hammered another nail into black's coffin (not sure if this phrase is used in english), however, his last move looks actually surprisingly promising. as i see it, b J11 could have been a bit better, using the same weaknesses as H13 and preventing white from playing the J11 himself - w J11 looks like the best resistance now. yet, even then, white will have to watch out to finish it safely
PS: more often i say "die like a man", but i doubt it would really cheer black

This seems to put me perhaps only 10 ahead (again by a very rough count, perhaps one which is a bit pessimistic to me), which is certainly worth continuing over, in a game at our level. [EDIT: I keep forgetting to include komi in these score estimates, so it's actually a bit more comfortable for me than these figures indicate

- of black's group. The conclusion seems to be that for now I can happily tenuki any black attempt to live, other than the direct threats against my stones such as A9. But I reserve the right to choose not to believe that, in the interest of an easier life
