Finally, a weak group to beat up on. White needed to do something to reduce black as he doesn't have any place where he can gain enough points to offset black creating a moyo across a quarter of the board. I want to keep pushing down with this, threatening to swallow white inside the moyo while building central influence to help the black group on the left, threaten centre territory, and aid an invasion of the top right.
If white extends, I will extend, then jump. If white hanes, I will crosscut.

The latter was my original plan, but it seems a bit insipid now. White feels about 10-15 points ahead at the moment from eyeballing the board, so I don't need anything crazy...
Look ma! I'm pushing from behind! I want to jump, but not right away, and I think if white hanes, he will still have issues, so I plan to jump ahead next turn.

Mmm, I think Black's a bit thin, but so am I, so I can't cut just yet. He'd have been better off playing the knight's jump I think. After this move I feel happy with pushing and cutting, and he can't do either this:

Staying ahead, building power. If white keeps running, I want to play P11 next. I thought about getting ahead with an ogeima, but that asks white to cut and I'm not sure I have a lot to gain from that fight.

This turned out more awkward than I had expected, partly because I'm trying to retain counter threats... Black can't tenuki here without losing part of the purpose of building his thick wall in the first place, so I get to connect solidly to the right and see what Black does with sente.

Ok, let's see what Black does with sente ... I need to stop him building a moyo in the upper left quarter, and I should have bent at E7 earlier. Still, not too unhappy with anything right now
