Trigger accepted; my move to follow.
The order of moves may have been important. I expected White to push at S12. Now I need to consider if I can descend there myself, after which White would likely play one of the following moves.

Descending at S12 was possible, but I couldn't see how to respond to R5 such that the outcome would be better than what will happen in the game.

Moreover, I've analyzed the corner situation in more depth, and I came up with some devious plans.
In particular, I'm looking at the following.
$$Bc

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm7 is a dual-purpose move. Firstly, this move is Takemiya style: once the contours of a moyo become well defined, it is important to remove aji which the opponent might use to invade the moyo. After
, Black becomes much thicker on the right, significantly reducing the threat from the White's Q11 and O10 stones. Secondly, should White tenuki after
, I'm pretty sure that "a" kills the top-right corner.

Ah, maybe I was misreading the corner situation after s18 altogether. Current plan is:

If White tenuki's from here, then Black has the option of fighting this ko:
$$Bcm8 :w7: tenuki

Black will win this ko easily, if he chooses, but it is probably bigger instead to enlarge the moyo at "a" or, perhaps, at one of the other marked points.

Oh, I see. That's pretty good.
Even so, just look at the Black moyo--the tasteful thickness of it.

Does this even live??

If it does (even in ko), then it's possible I'll simply play at "a," force White to connect, and then play something like "b."

I had the choice between the move played in the game and between the following, where "a" next initiates a ko:
