I wonder why he he changed the triger. His variation only seem to give me more ko threats. Normally I would play this for eye shape or connection but I don't see a need for this hear.
However, I know this game is close but I'm behind and my best chance is to take away his sente as often as possible. Therefore I'm trying nothing I'll lose. If I fail the more complicate thing I'll lose as well, but if I succed I might be able to win. Here are my ideas about the next moves:

This way he can't cut at 'a' because this would be self-atari, but he has to fear the cut at b. If he protects at b I can take sente with only losing 1 point if he plays at c.

Here I can take sente with losing 4 points first and maybe getting c later or he protects there first. If he protects he invested two times sente which makes 2 points for each sente. If I get c We both invested a sente which makes a 2 points advantage for him. It seem like this is a lose of 2 points.

Same as in Dia.1 but 'c' is very big now so he would exchange 'c' for 'a'for sure.

With a b c d e I lose one point but he has sente. But with c a e d I lose 3 points but I get sente. The biggest lose in the diagrams was 2 points. I think finding a 2 points endgame isn't that difficult on this board. If I didn't miss a variation in the fight this should be good.
