DH nice attack to make R16 look like bad shape (defending a corner territory that is open to destruction now)
1) I prefer this to playing on the bottom as I think the B stones can be attacked
2) You need to be very careful to when trying to play in the centre - your stones will have a lot of weakness. In this position, don't aim to connect your stones, as something like P15 will leave cutting points and all your groups will be weak. Instead, aim to settle on the top. Be careful the right side doesn't die - it is weak and will get weaker in this fight]

(;W[jm]WL[1238.165]C[Should I have attacked black by this side?

DH too deep as you can be cut off with no eyes, and it is very hard to make eyes in the centre, unlike on the edge, say if you played H3. In the centre, you also don't have much of a follow up to attack B's territory, so B can just ignore you and take a larger point]
