I played black in this game. It was a close game, so not seeing this move may have lost it for me. It was only looking over the game afterwards that I noticed this point.

I think this is better for white:

Yup, you all found it

. @ EdLee: it was a no-komi (handicap) game, and I had two more prisoners, so I think the actual difference would be something more like W+2.5 if I had found this tesuji. Not quite enough, I guess. In the game it sat for a while before white defended, I'm not sure if white didn't see it either, or was just counting on me not finding it.
