...it's as if B traded connection on the right side (and territory)
with an "almost" settled group, so it seems W should be OK with this result.

Sure, fine by me :)
Well, that's some cash in the bag at least. Now to not die on the right. If I can achieve that and get some good ground in that lower left, there's still a game to be had!

Gote, but seems quite big. In fact, B (a) was such a huge sente,

The :b2: hane would've meant more complications (for both of us),
but the nobi :b71: was nice and peaceful, much like the earlier :bc: pull-back versus the expected hane (b).

Let's have fun, part II. If this goes well, I'm going to connect those long lost two stones on the left, and do some counting.

Ok, basically, I think Ed's given me a reasonable lifeline. There's a lot of things going on here now, and I want as many as I can get.

These are what I would call the pivotal areas on the board. "e" should be my sente, or close to it - if it's gote, it's fairly big gote. If it's my sente, I'll play it soon (for example, if White blocks facing the corner, I may get it in sente as a corner threat), otherwise it can wait. "d" is clearly gote, but almost completely settles my dangerous group. If I'm ahead, I'll play it, but I may not have the time if I'm behind. White can't easily attack it for profit, so if he can't kill it it's not urgent. I have no idea if it is alive, but I suspect it is very borderline. "c" I count as 13 points gote, and "b" as 14 points gote. They're pretty close anyway (calculations and sequences available on request). "a" I consider the biggest point on the board now. The threat of rescuing those two stones in the middle is large, and the following is much bigger than a 14 point swing:

If I can get a good result on the bottom in sente, and get away with playing "a", Black can stop crying for a while, the game is completely back on. We'll just have to see what Ed has up his sleeve.

Well, I think earlier, before the probe, White should protect. Maybe something like this, aiming at rescuing the marked stone and threatening to develop a central moyo.

However, choosing to accept the cut might be fine, as Black gets that huge :b61:, but if it is, I think it can only be because he can then play here and cut:

These fights are messy, and I have no idea how they'll turn out at all, but I think giving me all those points on the top is large. In pure territory terms, I think the game's at least level again, but there are quite a few _huge_ points left - I'll be more confident of the situation when the dust has settled :)
Further EDIT in response:
Also, the advantage about that :w60: is this is pretty much sente I think:

I make it a swing of about 13 points or so (cals available on request) - if so, having him get it in sente is really painful, and I'd need to consider if I can afford :b61: just yet. It is very definitely gote now.

Many variations; part of topazg's plan to have plenty of options.
Regardless of W (a), (b), or other local replies, there's a lot of room for B to wiggle.
But maybe (a) gives B slightly fewer choices. Maybe not. :)

I actually consider White's last move to be an important mistake. Suddenly Black has already lived on the edge, and if I manage to retain sente to take the first big gote point, I think Black's already taken the lead ... provided the group on the right stays alive. Still far more to go yet, but I definitely give myself at least evens odds in this game now.

If B wanted to extend, it was either (a) or (b),
so :b75: is not exactly unexpected, but perhaps
(b) would be more interesting (and annoying?)...
Again, both lead to many variations, some of which
probably reverting to one another. :study:
