Can someone advise how to win this game?

This is my young son’s game and it’s clear that white is much more advantageous.

Anyone can advice how black possibly can win this game?

It’s elementary grade 3 students’ beginner game.

At this stage it should be impossible although I still see one weakness black may exploit.

Hint: there is a ko

I didn’t count so I’m not sure it would be enough to reverse the result.

Of course it’s more about a blunder of white who shouldn’t have left a defect like that as something strategic or even tactic. At this stage nothing should be possible to do.

A bit more explanation (:warning: spoiler!)

If it’s white turn he should connect his stone in atari. Then he is safe, and there is just 1 more point to take on the board. If it’s black he can take the stone, white can’t take back immediately (ko rule) so white need to threaten something bigger which seems no existent on this position. So next black can capture 8 white stones

If I counted correctly, it’s not enough to reverse the result. So at this stage, White has a won game.

I agree, but to tell the truth I didn’t want to engage the discussion on ko threats. (The fact being that white has no ko threats)
