[Diagram]
Diag.: Position after white 21

The urgent area of interest is the top left corner.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Moves 22-31

White 1 connects the stones as the white group tries to ecape from pressure.

Black 2 is a sacrifice and perhaps a mistake.

White 3 is a huge mistake. White had to play at 4 and was going to but suddently hallucinated that 4 stones are about to be captured.


[Diagram]
Diag.: White 3 left the situation unsetled but equal

Back 4 is an atari, so white has to capture with 5. Black takes white stone in a ladder with 6 and white has to survive playing forcing 7 and then adding the second eye with 9. White is alive, but just, in gote. Moreover, black 10 captures a single white stone and gets a ponnuki. This is painful for white.
