excellent play by Black, up to and including this move];W[e10]

C[Eric\:

I would've played g9 instead, to avoid a possibly-forcing move  at g7.  On the other hand, I guess h7 might make i4 somewhat-forcing for Black.

Peter\: 

Yes, that's what I had in mind. I was worried about the connection of e7 to the 1-edge, and whether White could force a ladder along the k-edge. I wanted to connect to the 11-edge in a way that would take away some space from h6, but I don't think h7 was a good way to do it, since it leaves White with lots of intrusions and White escapes a 2nd row ladder anyway. So yeah, g9 would have probably been better.]

C[Eric\: maybe f5? See next variation.

Peter\: or f6? See third variation.

Mohex\: All moves are losing, since Black is already winning.]

maybe here?

g6 can be met with h5 and g7, in some order.
