i choose a
so we proceeded to the endgame. i think i am still ok, but i should take sente and not keep answering black moves

good news is that black center looks almost killable to me now. exchange of last moves helps it, as now i won't have to care about safety of my own group. if my attack were successful, i could end this war once and for good. i will analyze it more deeply before next move

another big moves i would like to play are R13 and N18

following the principle of mutual damage i should find a move of equal value as black's and counter his sente with mine own. unfortunately, if there is such a move i failed to see it. to be precise, for example w C14 is bigger sente than b N18, but it is a very small move at the same time and gote for black, so it is not worth playing it right now

as i count it, the game is still pretty close, so i am calm, although i prefer to decide the result in middlegame and in endgame only defend comfortable advantage, if possible

Well, I had to take gote eventually. This is big though, I think I may be able to pull a slight lead.

I have to do something, or else my stones are split. I like this b/c it protects some points on the right. On the other hand, W can extend once more in sente.
