(;W[cn]C[I know this is probably premature. The sequence from a) to e) is probably
better.

MM: agreed. This fight is difficult for W, who has weaknesses on both sides]

break out.

(;W[ff];B[bg]
(;W[bf]C[Dubious ?

MM: yes, very. W is thin in the middle. B is alive both sides, so this is only 
a yose move.];B[fh];W[gh];B[ei]

(;W[hc]C[Overplay ? My reading at the time told me that I could ignore black a) 
(answering b) with white c) for example).

MM: real bad overplay. After B capture, w is weak, so should play carefully.]

ko threats if it came to a ko fight.

MM: it looks B can win if he just takes the top side. So W is really in trouble.]
