All in all, it seems like MW is looking for a place to resign. This problem is not difficult, but emerus will have to hold his nerves against a stronger opponent in the face of this troubling move, and be confident that he can handle the big White group inside his moyo.
And of course, with MW there are no guarantees that he will actually stop there, and may try to exploit all the aji he can.

I started to count... but... white hardly has enough to keep up with the captures. As long as I don't sleep for a dozen moves, this game should be over.
How sure are you that the lower side is your points? Did you think about spending a move there instead of top left (I'm guessing you didn't count before that, had you done so would you have played the same)?
@Obs
My (veiled) point is black L4 is probably the move that maximises the chance rather than margin of victory. I expect MW to try using the h5 cut and m3 aji to kill the p4 wall as a way of finding a place to resign.
would you have replied to 
?
. I feel very confident that I can crush any fight that MW may try with the j3 stone.
