Other moves are probably possible, but this seems the best. I take a very large corner. Other moves turn it in to a complicated fight.

Strategy and Thoughts
This is good enough for me, and that's got two of the remaining big points I wanted (F8 being the other). Before Black let me do that to the top I thought it was really close, maybe +/- 5p points. His O15 and P15 moves help him somewhat on the right, but it isn't even close to compensation for that loss at the top middle. If I get F8, I'm happy saying I'm at least 10 points ahead now I think.
I've marked the points I'm looking at, in order from A through to E at the moment. D if it is sente against the corner, C is dependent on how he responds to B (if he's not careful, I might live in the corner instead, which would be game over for Black).

Strategy and Thoughts
Strong move by white. He expands his own moyo while cramping my ability to expand up. But not a move I need to respond to right away.
I now take what I consider to be the largest point available to me. This connects my lone stone here to my strength at the bottom, and should let me peek inside white's moyo and cause some havoc.
Another choice might have been R8, but I think this one is larger. If he ignores it, I can jump even further in, and white just won't have enough points to win.

Strategy and Thoughts
Grrr, yeah, he got my point. I pick here because he can't push in diagonally, and it fixes my territory as well as I could hope for. My primary reason for 128 coming first was because it a) creates some useful aji against the right edge Black stones, but more importantly b) makes sure his 3 central stones don't get out. I still have some bad aji around there I don't like. I hope I get some of my B->E moves from the previous analysis
Tactics and Variations
And this is why the diagonal doesn't work:

So instead I just treat it as a forcing move and go on to the next large point.

I think Numsgil is playing a bit better than earlier in the game. Maybe it's just my feeling, but maybe he's improving a bit.

Strategy and Thoughts
Ok, that makes some sense, but it removes my hopes of "e". Still, I had bad aji from him playing Q7 anyway (I think that stone at P7 could have escaped that way) which is now fixed, and probably in sente, which means I can aim at B4 too ...

I think, even with the reverse komi of -70, White is ahead by a comfortable margin (+10). Taking into account the strength difference in endgame as well, I think now is a good time for Black to consider resigning.

Strategy and Thoughts
Need to respond when white attaches. I don't think there's a good follow up for either black or white locally, so white will probably take sente and move somewhere else.

Further thoughts on the last move for observers:
I realised I said it fixed my bad aji, but I didn't explain what that aji was nor why I liked my move, so here's a few extra bits:

That's the line the was upsetting me. If Black pushes at 133 first he can start to run out his liberties, and then my ladder lines work, but not if he extends like this. Now, if I play 132 at 137, I'm going to have lots of cutting points, so I have to decide whether to sacrifice the White stones for thickness (not so good now Black has R11), or connect and have a bunch of stones on dame points (although obviously that's better than being dead stones) in gote.
What I really wanted to do in response was this:

So, instead, I pick a move that fixes my aji and kills that stone outright, and is likely to take sente as the 132 in that last variation is fairly substantial if Black tenukis.
And, this move

Strategy and Thoughts
This feels like a good sente reduction to me. The only way it goes really badly for Black is if he thinks he can get away with B5 or C5, which I intend to play out as in the Black box

Sorry for the delay the last few days. Been tied up at work.
Strategy and Thoughts
Probe against my corner enclosure. I half expected this, but that doesn't mean I'll necessarily respond correctly
If I block on the outside he can certainly live in the corner. Outside thickness gains me nothing. So I need to either block on the inside or find a larger move (I don't think there is one).
Scoring and Counting

Bottom left: 9 points for black Bottom: 8 points for white Bottom right: 10 points for black Top right: ~32 points for black Center: ~56 points for white.
So counting the top left as komi, I think I'm presently behind by something like 13 points (ouch). So I didn't do a very good job of breaking up white's moyo. I'll see if I can't get sente out of this probe exchange and try to make some aggressive plays to shore things up a bit.
