Perfect, it s just in case there are more other moves suggested as one.

The follow-up for B7 depends on how white answer them, could range from a settle for black to rescue the three black stones exchange for some corners in the very lower left, to numerous ko fights result in complete swap of the upper left by sacrificing 9 black stones for the whole lower left, an early compromise for white to take the ko and keep the left territory, while black uses C17 as ko threats and take the C16 3 white stones and secure the upper left, or using all the ko threats inside the upper white moyo and create another potential semeai or secondary ko in the process, to even swap the lower right white for the upper left, or numerous other kinds of exchanges, like if some moves were involved in the ko to break through the M13 and Q12 gap, and create a whole mess on the upper right.
B7 is actually a very hard move to judge, and would still be an option after the G13 probe. But black needs to be very precise in using local forcing moves to create the ko.
I think we need to think about the move black would be playing next to get a better sense of how to respond to G13.
As I stated in my reply, the cut seem to create their own problems, the thing we need to consider is would black immediately push F12, or first create some ko inside white group on the left? And later use the whole upper left center as ko threats? Is there any way to avoid ko completely if black played moves around B7 (like C7)? If white answer with H14 I still feel it is probably still better to create the ko regardless than make any moves on the top. And if white answer with H14 (which looks gote locally), where would black’s next move to be (is the top moyo in danger? the lower right in danger? would black have enough just to push the boarder to the center?)
All right, here are a couple stupid kyu questions. If we play H13 and Black plays G14, are we better off? If we play H14 and Black plays H13, are we better off?
To me the question is are we going to give up E12? (and the sente?) This would connect the right side group, with some consequences, like more aji in white moyo (E18 instead of C18) to invade and better yose on the right. Now if this aji has no use, because white defended in a stronger way, then it looks fine.
@gennan pointed out here that A18 is effective against the upper left group. Since that’s true, I wouldn’t favor move 3 in this sequence. The threat to cut off and kill the UL group is useful to White.
I want Black to play C18 because it ensures eye space for that group and I’m pretty sure it’s sente. As long as White makes a gote response (D18?) then I would like Black to somehow start a fight to cause mischief in the upper middle…
