    I like C8. But others here are much more qualified to answer. :)

    the simplest play usually does the job

    Wow, Thank you very much Arek.

    I have to admit, now I don't feel that I could win this game, because I'd never find the chain of moves you have played.

    I just wonder, if this is the simplest way, what could be the sophisticated one :)

    You could use your h17 stone to threat him on the bottom side like this: h17 threat

    After few moves the situation would be like this: e9

    This is a win for white player.

    Thank you Maciej, it seems the position was not an easy position for a beginner like me :)
