Next 9 dan tesuji
Don't respond to atari automatically - many times the opponent has a hidden plan. In this problem, sacrifices occurred more than once: Black 6 and White 1 both are examples of sacrifice tesuji. Make sure to understand Black's tactics to force his way out when surrounded this kind of sequence really occurs a lot in one shape or another. It is just like a samurai surrounded by enemies, and fighting his way out in the last moment.
