44 appears to be double sente for W. however, I was slightly surprised to see white play it immediately. There are two reasons for my surprise:

Black 3 becomes powerful after W 44. Also, if B gets to descend at 5, my yose improves a bit as a result of having captured the single stone, for example:

9 is my sente here.

So W may choose to make this exchange in sente quite soon:

However, this exchange improve my yose on the top side as shown.If W neglects to play some of these move, the peep at a becomes big for me.

I expect W will continue as here:

2 is nearly double sente - it looks like it activates a cut at a. I intend to play at 3. There are lots of choices for W, but if it goes as shown I believe that I have a slight lead.

W can't play actually play the cut I pointed out:

5 threatens a geta, so forces 6. Then after 9 nasty things will happen on the lower side to W.

Finally, here is an laternative for W for in the main variant:

B 5 and 7 as here work OK if W cuts.

I mentioned the cut at 3 as a move to play instead of 41. I reject this because, at that time, W reply with a nobi as in the main diagram (5 above) worked well for him. Now I hve extra stones in the area, W's territory from the nobi is smaller so it looks like better timing for me.

If W cuts, I will just capture the three stones as shown:

The extra 6 points is useful, and W's terrtory is not too big, so I like this for B. So W may well need to answer passively:

I've not decided what to do if this happens, but it must be a good exchange for B.

This seems to be biggest move.

There may be bad aji if I don't play here and I tenuki the area often enough, for example:

B may run out of liberties.

W has numerous moves to reply to the move actually played: for example

It's becoming possible to count more accurately. W will probably get 20 points on the upper side, 10 in the corner and aaround 20 on the lower side and in the centre. Total: 50 plus komi.

B has 45 on the RHS (which could be more if, for example, B peeps at a - this count assumes W gets to excahnge B for c in sente.) 4 points upper side. 10 points LHS. Total: 60 points. So it looks like a narrow lead for B.
