;W[ge]CR[ge]C[B has a choice here.

Since B is leading in territory B might just jump out into the center at a number of good points and be satisfied with eliminating W's potential for center territory.

A riskier play is to push through and cut at F15. If the cutting stones managed to live I would win, but if they died I would lose for sure.

I was able to see pretty quickly that K6 was no good.  The cut at J4 led to a very messy fight which I could not read out.  H3 seemed to make miai of J4 and reaching the edge, and thus it was the move I chose.]
