I don't like the forcing peeps W is left with, but this feels better then solidly connecting. W could push the shape a little more but then it will return to if W wants to keep B from pushing into his framework in the lower right or go back to try and kill the upper right black stones. I don't know what I would do as W, all the knights moves make it seem hard to kill those black stones, but it is equally hard to keep B from making some big reductions.

Nice poking of eye shape. I like moving in this direction because of all the knights moves around. If W defends his stones I can make some shape. If W protects the bottom, I can start trying to exploit the 2 large knights moves.

Sorry for the long delay since my last move.

I think the best odds of getting my second eye are to exploit aji with a cut at a, or the hole white has at b. I want to make a work first because If I can get strong on this side, then a submarine around c could be available.
