Thanks for the tips. I'm having my son study your strategy.

@Kirby:
See, I wasn't entirely sure, which is why I was vague. But the main thing I was thinking of was the 3-3 point you showed:

The problem I see with the other move is that I can get the corner sequence in sente and then set to work on reducing from the top.

If he then responds passively at 'a' (which is probably a mistake, but let's say black wants to avoid complications), then the game seems close by my count (which I hope is not embarrassingly wrong
). That isn't a good thing for black in a handicap game.
However, if he just takes the 3-3, he denies me potential territory in the corner and guarantees himself extra territory. So, while I admit my judgment could be flawed here, I think it's the higher-percentage move here.

A question about E1, should I play the exchange of E1 and D1? It counts as the same liberties for E2 and E3 stones (4 libs), but when later if there's need for this group to extend at F2, this exchange will shorten liberties of this group.
But he did not play the sequence of white D1, black E1, white C1, does it mean that he thinks this is better for white than the sequence that exchange has been made? Or maybe this is just too small for he to consider
If he cuts at E4, i think i'll sacrify those two stones. but I don't think he will...

I believe I'll be fine to head into the macro-endgame after my success in the bottom-left.

I can't figure out a good way to reduce his top-left, so I'll play some other endgame moves like
above instead.

I definitely should have atari'd on top for
. I didn't anticipate this move by him.
Anyway, I'd write a bit more about this move, but it's very late so I'm too tired too.

I feel i'm playing slower as this becomes difficult to read, or at least diffcult for me to read.

I'd play J15 but maybe it is rather wishy-washy !
