Both players miss the important plays around a and b with this sequence. Now would have been the last option for black to play at b and maintain a 8 points lead, but the next black move will be a big mistake for black.

White 8 and 10 are suboptimal. White should have played at 9 in the first place.

Black 111 is just too small, there are better plays at a, b or c. But I expected my opponent to answer.

But black misses the good variations that start with a. I played the exchange I was after in the first place. Black is still ahead about 6 points.
