I would not worry too much about winning or losing, particularly by a small margin.

Some comments.

As always, no guarantee that I have not goofed.

The 9x9 is a very tactical game, and when White cuts, the resulting position is difficult. Black needs to engage the enemy at that point. One thing that begins to stand out, I think, is how big connecting can be. Another thing to note is how big the diagonal play on the second line can be when either side could make that play.
