I don't know if this is a good ko for me to fight. But regardless, I can't let him slide under to Q2.

on this trade...who gained? i try to cound and count it is almost equal IMO. may be i lose a point or two. but i still simplified the board and probably keep my sente so trade was good for white. i wonder what professionals say about this trade???

In a handicap game I would expect the stronger player to gain a lot from ko fight trades, so I think in this respect black needn't be that upset as his profit from his threat is quite large (though on the plus side for you he made his r12 wasted). From my armchair I assumed you would answer it, did you not have enough threats? As you say you got sente for the rest of the yose which is important.

Usually it is true in ko fight.. i still think i could have won the fight and take my sente but his ko threat was not big enough for me to answer. i am still not sure who lost on that trade. initally i thought i lost few points...then after some more thinking i think i gained because of sente.
three things..i didnt back down (maybe i should have but...not my style), i made the board much more simple, and i think i won this game.

how many point was that ko threat??? i assessed it would be about 19 points.
how many points LR corner?? i think it is about 16 points + alpha and i take sente. in conclusion black played 3 point gote move that is less than taking two stone. so ...black playing ko fight was not good idea... which means black should not have atari and try to reverse sente my right.
19 points appears big..but it is gote and finally it doesnt help him win this game. so it was wrong threat..(he didnt have enough threat anyway.)

I have to do something to fortify the right side of my group, or I get killed as shown previously.
Trying to fll the ko is suicidal:

If he wants to fight the ko, I will eventually have to play both Q5 and Q3 ( because he has more ko threats ). So they are almost interchangable.
I prefer Q5 because in some lines that I read, I get to defend with the bamboo joint at O5, which has a 4 point threat to rescue lost stones.
