I counted, and it seems to me like even with the most generous biasing in my favor, not to mention completely ignoring the fact that some of my groups are unsettled leaves me 10-20 points behind. I could be wrong though...

Quick Question: was I hallucinating majorly, or does this work? No one really mentioned it in the comments

Hmmm, I actually didn't even look at it. I think part of my issue is I figured I needed to be very careful with the thin-ness on the left, whilst you have the cut at "a" below I was mostly aiming to seal you in rather than kill outright, and then perhaps defend the corner in sente later.

Good for Black?
I'm not saying what I played was any better, and looking at it, your move does look probably more dangerous (or, at least, more advantageous even if it doesn't kill), I just hadn't considered it really.
