Given my earlier mis-read (Post #171), I would've had to play after , and there's a weakness at (f):
So it seems W should be satisfied with the current local result.
(p)
Yes, is the best aji, and yes, B should've pushed first, to make 2 cuts for W.

@Both players: I just unhid some possibilities that you didn't take. ( Posts 173, 175, 178 and 179 )

Thanks Joaz. (The top of Post #173 is not quite ready to be unhidden yet... I stopped reading immediately. I'd better not read any of them until you double check they're safe first. )

'a' and 'b' are gote for both of us, and close in size (although 'a' is slightly bigger). So, I'm going to treat them at miai. If I can get to this board position, I think I'm about 10 points ahead.

A bit unexpected. is not exactly small, but it just doesn't seem quite big or urgent, as the (a) area seems mostly neutral. Unless I missed something.

Hey Ed;
You mentioned you were considering b4 for 80. Could you share a little of your reading concerning that? I find the play after white b4 black tenuki confusing.
Also more relevantly;
What do you see as the big points on this board ?
Thanks.

Yeah, he can push and cut, but only by giving me sente again, which may be points on the bottom or it may be one of the other big points I highlighted - either way, bigger than the loss of C3. I'll be surprised if he doesn't block, let me connect (fixing the push and cut), and then return to my last point, as it's increased the aji around there in my favour quite a lot. I may even by able to find a way of saving those two stones on the left in sente.

Immediate concern is to try to end in sente here.
Loons,
Actually I did not read that far for , because it seemed I would get the bad aji from the cuts and lose sente: (I guess topazg and I have been eyeing the same big points forever ...)

I sincerely apologise for my selfishness, but I'm going to choose to resign this game as well rather than spoil it through a lack of thought and care.
Ed, you are far stronger than 4k in my opinion, and for the majority of this game I think you simply outplayed me. With a game of a move in the left middle to the control of the game for the next few moves, you had me hook line and sinker. Allowing me to cut at the top and live in the corner in sente I think put you slightly behind, but I don't feel I deserved to be ahead.
Congratulations, and thank you for a fascinating game

is not exactly small, but it just doesn't seem quite big or urgent,
group separated (in sente);
tenuki, there are some choices:
at the push 
directly:
at (a)...(f), seems dead.
