is a tesuji when the ladder works, making miai of 'a' and 'b'. However, I think this is the best I can do. I am alive on the top-right, I retain some of my territory on the top middle-left, I get ladder aji, and I get sente. I only wish this result was as good as it sounds when I read that sentence.

I'm glad is not at . That would make it harder to invade there when I leave the now-ugly top in sente.

I also thought about invading the top like so but my 3 stones would completely die if DuskE got a move at "x"(which he would) and all my influence would be shot:

Then it will be time to deal with his moyo. He'll still have a move around 'a' as a follow-up.
In my experience, he's never been much of a moyo player. I wonder if he'll feel comfortable handling my reductions.

Once again he does the move I consider briefly but don't write about. At least this time I am fine with that. He will either have to push me into the center, making it all too easy for me to wreck his moyo, or he will have to give me side territory.

I assumed that was the case. Trigger accepted. Your move Dusky the night Owl. Just a heads up I won't be making any moves Tue. or Wed. as I will be in a magical land of morphine and scalpels on Tue. and a less magical land of Tylenol-3 and managing pain Wed. I will assess how I am feeling Thurs. I will be eager to play some moves.

I have like 45 points of solid territory on the top, 10 points of solid territory on the left, and 14 points of pretty solid territory in the bottom right. He has 14 points of territory perhaps on the top-right, and an invadable ~22 points of territory on the bottom. He'll need 30-40 points in the center to win I think. I think that will be hard, but his best shot is probably to start with a move like this:

I also want to get to 'a' before he does, because as a follow-up I can perhaps move into the center and threaten his four stones in the upper-left all at once.

However, if he follows-up with a hane himself, I will probably tenuki, as it seems there will be bigger areas on the board than this.

Ideas:
Yay this is what I meant when I said I would be happy if black didn't play solid. I feel there is lots of aji in the top still. A probe at "a" is not easy to handle/kill especially with threats like "b" possible. I will take more time to read it out, but at very least I have a pile of ko threats, maybe ko life, not sure about unconditional life. I would be happy with ko life deep in his territory and I lose nothing by playing in there. Its Dusks move, I await some destruction of my area/expansion of his. My guess is he will attack my 4 stones on the left then move on to the bottom. I control the middle so I can put up strong resistance to any attacks he makes.

Since I have all weekend to wait for Dusk to make his next move I get a chance to assess this corner and then look at other things that might happen Lucky me!
I wonder where he will play his next move? I don't think the same way as Dusk so its hard to say what is next on his agenda I bet he will come up with a completely unexpected move:

To stay consistent with black's strategy, it would be around here. I think this can exploit the aji of e3 quite well. It is solid and consistent(maybe steady is a better word?), and seems to be quite big now. White's moyo seems to be taking shape, but I feel like he is sacrificing too many pure points for his moyo. It's not enough to get moyo in this manner.

If he plays at 'c' instead, I can respond once, but when he extends at , I will not have to play at , but can instead connect underneath at , as (the normal follow-up) does not work out for him at all:

Ideas:
I will resist as strongly as I can. I cannot afford to simply concede territory. I will aim for sente and probe the top. I need to balance territory asap as I have few points and he has plenty. I will aim for the following points:

I was just lazy posting this move, knowing that he won't be able to respond until tomorrow. I had it planned all along. He has two choices of moves now:

This is one possibility, making miai of both points. However, there are numerous other branches for both of us, including me perhaps saving my laddered stones in sente (I haven't really read it out yet). *Edit: In fact, this exact sequence is very unlikely to happen, it's just the first one that popped into my head.*
Once I live here, I only have to reduce the center a little bit, which shouldn't be too hard, and then I will win.

below, I would be at a loss as to what to do.
will be near-impossible to save.
is a tesuji when the ladder works, making miai of 'a' and 'b'. However, I think this is the best I can do. I am alive on the top-right, I retain some of my territory on the top middle-left, I get ladder aji, and I get sente. I only wish this result was as good as it sounds when I read that sentence.
is not at 
. That would make it harder to invade there when I leave the now-ugly top in sente.
, I will not have to play at 
, but can instead connect underneath at 
, as 
(the normal follow-up) does not work out for him at all:
