my last - but very nice - sente against black group. black can answer B6 and i think also B8 as well - with B8 he gets eye space big enough, although his shape doesn't look very strong.

bad thing is that the sequence we just played hasn't solve my problems with the left-center:

i hate this, because however both black groups are already alive, they are relatively weak and i could get many sente moves against them. if i let them connect, all of this potential will disappear.

resistance is futile:

i can't cut at a, because black would connect his stone 6 and my whole left-center would die

this could work, with minimal damage:

this would allow me to connect with a or b, with only unavoidable sacrifice of the one marked stone.

you could ask why i just won't play once again to fix all of this annoying aji, but it would be gote and i want to stablize my right-center first and then play some good, big, sente moves, so i really want to find a sente way out of this. of course, i cannot forget the possibility that black just don't see this sequence so my worries are not neccessary and in such case i would be happiest than in any of the shown diagrams (and even another possibility, that my judgment is wrong and i don't have to worry about losing one stone or letting black connect)

as i look at the board, it is a good time to count the score...

a - white top - around 25, if the two black stones stay dead as they are
b - white lower right corner - around 8 points
c - white lower left corner - something like 10
d - black lower left - around 8, like b
e - black upper left - 20
f - black right side - still opened to changes, i would say around 25
g - black lower side - small, let say 5 points

so my balance is: a + b + c - d - e - f - g = 25 + 8 + 10 - 8 - 20 - 25 - 5 = -15 for me

i excluded center groups from the count, because they are of similar size and there are not much definite territory there, but i can get there more than black, let say at least by 5 points (we will see it more clearly after few more moves, what will black do about his two stones). 25 points for f is more likely to be overestimation than underestimation, so if i add this all together and consider it is a 3-handicap game and there are still more than 150 moves awaiting, i am satisfied with my position

I think all the groups are stable now, and we're entering into the very early endgame. This move is big, and has a strong sente followup. I expect something like this:

Something like 4 is big, but I think I can find a way to deal with it.
