;B[e10]C[Peter\: There are lots of other (better) ways for Black to reconnect here, e.g., e7, i6. 

The point is that Black already gets a 2nd row ladder, so just needs some way to escape it. Those other moves would give Black more possibilities towards to the 1-edge. 

They are examples of minimaxing moves.]

I would've pushed once more, gotten the ladder escape, and then climbed.]
