If it's not too much trouble, would you mind writing a bit about your plan and what alternatives you have considered for the last move? Also, how did you feel like your attack went? Do you think the result around that area is even or better for one side?

The last few moves were almost forced. I didn't even think much about other alternatives. I could have captured H11 and G12 directly before, but my feeling was that my stones will get overconcentrated that way. After I chose to extend with J10, up to here seems to be almost one way path. Black's response here is not easy. Usually he should be able to hane or cut, but neither seem to work out clearly. I'm even expecting black playing the empty triangle. And of course this kind of situation is very happy for my side. Black's bad haengma on the left side is now causing problems. I played the right side first to see what I can get there, but since black happily took gote, I had no more choice than to attack the left side. The result up to here seems satisfactory for white.

I did the sente exchange because black can go desperate and make a ko. I don't think that would be a good ko for black but just want to avoid some possible future headaches. If black responds my last move somewhere in the lower left corner, I'll try to find a strong move to seal black's group. If black just goes out, capturing the two stones seems thick and big.

This seems to be the only move if I ever want to keep black hard to go out. I also thought about some alternatives such as letting black capture my J3 stones while I reduce black's right side. But I still lack the ability of correct positional judgement, so let me just keep fighting till end.
