My 18.o4, which I thought was oh so clever at the time, was probably a losing move. Instead,
18.p719.r720.q921.s922.s13 looks like a win. After 13.L9, I remember thinking to myself that the only way I could make use of M6 is to use P7 or Q6 as a tempo threat across the top, and at the same time use it as a downstream peg to help my attack from the bottom. But when the time came to do this, I got caught up in the tactics of the battle in the center. I sort of ignored the issue of connecting P12 to the right wall.
19.r12 was very strong. Silexu grabs a lot of influence in that region of the board before I do.
Maybe 15.r11 would have been better for white.

21.q7 was probably a losing move. Instead,
21.r8 22.p4 23.s6 24.t4 25.p7 (threatening p3)
|26.L4 27.i6 with two main branches:
28.h4 29.L3 30.k2 31.p3 32.q2 33.o5 34.o3 35.n4 OR
28.j5 29.g5 30.i7 31.g8 32.i3 33.e4.
Returning to the game:
23.p11 24.p8 would have been the same.
