I thought I had to live small in the corner, but that's a terrible result when avoiding getting surrounded is a posibility. If we do tsumego to improve in our go journey, this tsumego achieves that, and we shouldn't be frustrated to get it wrong, but happy to be more aware of our weaknesess

BS14 connects the black stones in a safe way. The white stone at S16 can easily be captured to connect. Yes, that is not guaranteed, because White can threaten the black stones and maybe Black at the same time needs to secure more important territory elsewhere on the board. But it is much safer than BR14, which leads to a Ko. If Black wins the Ko, he only gains a few more points, I think, but risks to lose the complete side. So the few extra points probably are not worth the risk (though in some cases you might want to set up a Ko, if it's a close match and there are other big Ko-fights or suitable Ko-threats on the board).

Am I correct in deducing from the current explanations that the white stones are dead, and that wF13 just limits Black's corner?
