Instead of 19.M8, more crucial was S7, but after

|19.s7 20.i19 21.f18 22.h17 23.g17 24.h21 25.g21 26.o8 27.q12 28.p14 29.r14 30.q16 31.s16 32.r20

I think my net holds, for example

33.q17 34.p21 35.o18 36.n15 37.m19 38.m22

...And now I am of the opinion I was losing in that line.

|19.s7 20.i19 21.f18 22.h17 23.g17 24.h21 25.g21 26.o8 27.q12 28.p14 29.r14 30.q16 31.s16 32.r20 33.p19

and now:

34.r18 35.t18 36.t21 37.r19 38.p21 39.q17 40.m22 41.m16 OR
40.o19 41.n18 42.n15 43.l19 OR
34.s17 35.t18 36.t21 37.r17 38.r18 39.r19 is the same, OR
38.q18 39.p18 40.o19 41.n19 42.n21 43.m16 OR
40.n21 41.m16 42.o19 43.n17 OR
34.o21 35.r18 36.q22 37.m16

It looks like I got lucky again.

I just want to add that after

|19.s7 20.i19 21.f18 22.h17 23.g17 24.h21 25.g21 26.o8 27.q12 28.p14 29.r14 30.q16 31.s16 32.r20 33.p19

the default response should be 34.p21 ... it's generally stronger and simpler than the other options explored above ... but in this case, it's still not enough to save Black: 35.r18 36.n21 37.m16 or 35.r18 36.o19 37.n18 38.m18 39.m16.

But wait. Am I blind? I'm not seeing a good response to 34.p21 35.r18 36.o19 37.n18 38.n15 39.l19 40.l23 (similar to one of David's lines, except for that last move.)

41.???

Alan suggests: |19.s7 20.i19 21.f18 22.h17 23.g17 24.h21 25.g21 26.o8 27.q12 28.p14 29.r14 30.q16 31.s16 32.r20 33.p19 34.p21 35.r18 36.o19 37.n18 38.n15 39.l19 40.l23

I guess 41.l21 works as a response? e.g., 42.m22 43.j20 44.j22 45.m23; or 42.k21 43.j20 44.n22 45.i22.

Ok. Dushoff is right, that works. David should have been toast.
