8.k17 was not the best because after 9.o16 white still has two ways to connect to the bottom. Instead |8.m13 would threaten either a double link at n15 or black p10. White might respond 9.t14 and I don't know who has the advantage.
OOPS I should have included a vertical bar. I repeat: 10.o10 was a good try in a losing position. Instead of 12.L11, |12.l9 would have lasted longer but was also losing, for example 13.j1014.l1315.k12 or 14.i815.i916.k917.k10
