Actually, I first thought playing 13.r10... but then I thought it may be better to play closer to your center pegs in case it could be useful later... and I haven't seen the p13 threat... and I was VERY disapointed with that! I think I have to think better how my adversary can play after my move...
I had written some personal comments on the game on littlegolem but I cannot figure out how to find them back when the game is over. Anyway, I was surprised with your 8.r18 move, and surprised again with your 10.q7 one (because it helped me... I told myself that you were planning some trap I haven't seen on the top...
Btw, I can see our comments on LG but I figure out how to retrieve my personal notes (the ones you can enter before playing your move)

As of |8.q199.n1710.m1911.q18, the other side looks better: 12.r17. Then, I think White's better off abandoning the local battle, but as for the local battle, it forces 13.p20, and then Black can play 14.n21 threatening p21, and then 15.q2216.p16. It's still not over yet, but that looks like a strong position for Black.
|13.r10 14.o6 15.l6 16.m5 17.j7 OR
|13.r10 14.n4 15.l6 OR
|13.r10 14.n5 15.n7
My N12 was weaker than I realized, and S13 was very strong. But was N12 a losing move? I am not sure.
Maybe |8.q19 would have saved the game for me.

If 8.q19, then 9.n17 10.n18 11.o19 12.o20 13.m19 ...or maybe there is another way to attack n17?
|8.q19 9.n17 10.m19 11.m20 12.o18 13.l18 14.n16
