C[Hoshi, you are doing right , thinking of the sente / gote relationship in this yose.

I tried to think about it all the time , even in the L&D question.
If you could have connected M18 a long time ago, white had had few chances. But that's handicap Go, white starts with a huge disadvantage and wants to improve. 

For me , winning would be nice, but now I rather look whether I'm advancing (narrowing the gap ) or not.

Unfortunately I played a very stupid opening, totally senseless.]

C[it was not easy to play for black since black risks a lot with the split (K17) and the strike in left border. Maybe we can live with the seki situation of upper two groups.

C[chuckle .. for sure we can live with the seki!]

C[Threat to kill. 
White knows that even after cutting at d2 AND capturing m2 (6 points?) , Black could still live.

Black answered in Gote , despite it was not life-threatening.

Hence white got the hane d1 in sente, despite it was locally  not sente. 
Black c1 would have been quite sente (life) therewith big.

If white had taken m2 (approx. 6 points, white had lost the endgame cd1 (difference nominally 3 points) to black and got gote. Netto, white had gotten only 3 points in Gote!

Now white can continue in sente and try to catch up.

(I hope I have not given away too many clues, but that are my plans)]

C[Japanese byoyomi, but Chinese rules?
There are no neutral points.
Even in the seki, one stone can be placed.]

C[A swing of 7 points indeed. (-6 + 1 captured)
From 49B : 44W it swings now to 43B:45W

The cut should have been protected just before the dame playing (or simply win this ko and not others). 
That's why white wanted to win exactly this 1/3-1/2-point ko and not any other.
White saw this option (seki = -12points, the captured stone at s8 still belongs to black; or 7point loss) when we played the first moves in the mnop10 area and white could not find good moves to threaten to capture 3 stones or peep at p7).
When black did not connect before the dame playing, white knew he had to go on, perhaps black was just teasing and would fill it at the last moment. Anyway , it belongs to the game.

White was lucky several times in this game:
Capturing 2 stones at m4/5 for life in an extremely hostile environment,
life at m15/18 due to the captured stone,
the seki was at the edge and the semeai could have been fiercer, now this endgame.
During the ko, black could have played at s12 for ko-threats while(!) making the white group gote-seki = -7points (or hanami ko if white dares to resist).
 
On the other hand, White's opening was horrible on the right side, I don't know anymore what hallucinations where there in white's head.
It was a good start for black from there.

If this game had to get a label, then perhaps perseverance.]

C[My SGF viewer GoWrite does not show what happened at 282.
It must have been a PASS, because an illegal immediate recapture of 281 was not possible.

Also it does not show that white connecting move at a17.

Without passing and a little bit more suspicion on the right side, Black should have won easily. 

Thank you for the game,
