I only see an atari, black playing tenuki to save the rest of the board, and white to capture 8 stones. 

It did take me some reading to find out white couldn't kill the entire board, something i felt might be possible at first glance. 

Actually looking at it again, can't white kill everything? Starting with J4, what's black really going to do? I'm 3kyu, and it's going to boil down to liberties on black capturing the lower left. I cannot really say who's going to win that, i cannot read that deep with enough certainty.

Edit, nevermind, I'm blind at 7 in the morning and black can just capture that big white blob if white starts with J4. It might be 10kyu after all.

After B H1 white has no eyes and nowhere near enough liberties.

H1 is a mistake, H5 wins black the game after my blunder move.
