Does Ed hope for the one below? it does not look too apetizing for me...

However, I can cut with 88, and then either as below (not sure yet of exact placement of 92, but thereabouts)

or like this, which seems also ok. (Ed could play 91 at 92, but then I eat 87, and get some points on left side.) This seems like best for Ed, so most likely way to go? I Ed tries to run a way with the stone above 92, cutting my groups, it seems I may get to attack the connection at a-a. If he doesn't run, I will connect and get some points.

Feel free to vary if you want

Surprisingly hard for me to say whether A or B below is better. I tried out all kinds of variations, still not sure. Chose A because it is safer and I currently feel quite positive about this game. If I felt I was behind, would try B.

Was again unsure between 94 and A below, tried to choose the safer move because I'm still happy with the position. Also, 94 threatens to cut the three black stones to the left off, A would enable black to protect this cut in sente by playing at 94. If black now protects the cut, I intend to enclose my territory with a play somewhere between A and D. Wondering though whether I could insert the sequence shown earlier in bottom right in sente first...

btw. if black plays C, I intend to reply D. Playing hane on top of C seems not to work.

A very quick try at counting, to train myself. Some expected sequences added for clarification.

black right side: 42
black top left: 11
black bottom left: 13 (inc 1 uncaptured prisoners)
black middle 5 (inc 2 uncaptures prisoners) + some more probably
prisoners 3
= 74

White bottom 40 (inc 3 uncaptures prisoners) + some more in middle probably
white top: 27
komi 6,5
= 73,5

So if black gets 95-99, it's about even. That's why I'm wondering about inserting the sequence in bottom right now. If I got that + an enclosement in current play area, the game seems to be winnable

Nice one, but is it nice enough? Following was considered and rejected - not working in my reading, sadly:

I did not see any other options, as letting black cut my stones on the side is not good.

No prob!

I am quite confident I have this game in bag. Let's see how badly I have misjudged things! :blackeye:

I expect the following: (8 at A, or B, or C, or something, have to think that through..)

I was just going to play 100 below, but then I realised black 103 is sente, threatening to cut. Thus black would get both good center and to defend in bottom right. Let's see what kind of exchanges we make in the center, but I would really like to get 100 below - it both limits black's corner and gives me possible claim to points around the marked area or further reduction of corner.

Chosen 100 defends against the cut 103 above would threaten, while whitling away the center. If black just blocks with 101, the cut at A seems potentially funny.
