On reflection I think this may be slightly bigger than A2, although probably still gote.

yeah, big move. but i prefered to connect with 184 at D10 so i could definitely forget about cuts on the left. following moves in the current area are much smaller than black's first one, but i guess still big enough to be worth answer.
i considered w A2, which looks as a big endgame move, difference between white and black playing there is 3 points (i think). and i am also deciding when to play w D16 - 2 point sente for me.
once again score count:

a + b + c + d + e - f - g - h - i - j + 1 = 21 + 10 + 13 + 5 + 7 - 7 - 12 - 19 - 15 - 3 + 1 = 1 hmm, 1, that is not much, especially with my not very reliable counting. on the other hand, KGS SE is more optimistic than me and because i am stronger player, i should gain more in the endgame
