Okay, it seems like it may come down to a liberty race that I believe is favorable. I had been reading something flawed (obviously) that looked like white could either make an eye or get out with the main group. As I can't seem to dispute this 5, I should play towards it.
Shaddy: Sorry, I feel bad for taking audience hints. However, that's kind of the purpose of the open format, to improve games from a playing and learning perspective by removing mistakes and clearing up misreads in advance. Also, there'll be plenty of chances for me to mess this up later...

Debated between N6 and O7. N6 involves my groups living and N5 dying (best case), O7 seems to kill the corner and let the other two small groups live. The corner is bigger, so I'll take that. Below are some options I considered.

I'm not certain, but my assumption was that this 3 is the correct response to the extension. My sleepy reading at the moment seems to show that white has to let black cut at P5, or lose more?

Not ideal, but I think I get something out of it?
Yes, this is a line I missed because I didn't read the 5-7 cut. It seems pretty good for white to make the perfect influence position (x is free), but it's better than I had been thinking!

Okay. it's not what I hoped for when I started the fight, but then again, I really assumed that one of us would have a huge amount die, and that it had a good chance to be me. This seems to keep the game playable, so let's play it.
We each have one captured stone, and sente is yours.

Prokofiev: Not sure, but I got scared and wanted to defend first, no matter what.
Wellp, we knew this was coming. Hoping that I can come out okay, but I still don't regret sacrificing sente to defend on the eastern side first.
