C[i8 would have sufficed for reconnecting Black to the 11-edge.];W[g9];
B[i6]
C[The connection from i6 to h9 is vulnerable to i8 and a ladder escape fork at j10 (or even j9); however, White is also vulnerable at g7.]

C[This move gives up Black's win, because the connection from d5 is not solid.

g7 would have also connected these groups, while simultaneously threatening h6. It would have been winning for Black.]
