Black pushed White into the victory. 33.u6 only worked because of 27.s11 which was forced by Black.
But Black was in trouble long before. Maybe 8.l16 would have been better.

In my opinion, Black made a series of sub-optimal opening moves. 4.p14 would have been better balanced. 6.m8 was also too far to the right, opening up a path for White on the left. Once White had the strong j9 peg and the bastard to L14, Black should have probably made White fight for every inch, as he said, with 8.l16. Finally, 10.o19 feels like a better move -- I'm reluctant to hammer attack so far from the edge, without any other peg support.

I have not analyzed the rest. What if 32.r6?
10.o19 was on my list but seems to make no difference: 11.o20 12.m18 13.l16.
32.r6 indeed looks like a winning move. i do not feel better now.
