Maybe I should have played |22.g13 What do you think?

With 22.f15 you force me to play on the back of the board because otherwise the next move 24.f19 would be a winning move for you. But I needed not to play from d.18 or g.17 because you would then have played h.14. I needed a move that could prevent you to play 24.f19 but at the same time could help connect to the top, thus 23.16 because 24.f19 25.j20.

Would you have played 22.g13, I guess I may have played 23.j14 ? What's next I don't really know... Any suggestion ?

What happened after 28.h3 is also really interesting... we can also discuss that later on...

Oups sorry, I've misread the board and talked about 22.f13 instead of 22.g13.

After 22.g13 maybe 23.i12

I like your suggestion |22.g13 23.j14 24.m14, Florian.
For example 25.i12 26.g9 27.h9 28.i9 OR 25.g12 26.f15 27.i13 28.f19

If 23.i12 24.h11 25.h10 26.g9 and white does not stop L12 from connecting to the N16 group.

Regarding 28.h3, if anyone sees an improvement for black I would very much like to see it.

Another |22.g13 line is 23.j16 24.g5 25.l13 26.k14 27.k15 28.o8 29.k9 30.m7 31.j7 32.j2 33.k5 34.l3 35.n4 36.o4

David, in you last line, 33.j3 is a winning move for white.

Anyway 23.g13 seems to be a strong move for back. I'll try to think about it and post a comment would I find something...

In my opinion 28.h3 was not a bad move. After that move I knew I would not be able to connect the top from the left side but at the same time I was in a bad position in the center because you would play n4 somehow. I thus needed an extra peg in this area to support my run for a connection in the center. I could get it by "forcing" your moves on the left and getting the j5 peg that would have been so important would you have played n4.
I wonder if 32.e4 would not had been a stronger move for black ?

How about |33.j3 34.j4 35.l13 36.n6 37.n4 38.m8 39.o6 40.o9 41.p9 42.q10 43.r10 44.s11 45.t11 46.q12

Oh wait, you didn't make your move clickable. I was looking at the wrong variation. Please include a vertical bar followed by the entire variation.

So how about |22.g13 23.j16 24.g5 25.l13 26.k14 27.k15 28.o8 29.k9 30.n6 (instead of m7) 31.g3 32.j6 33.f5 34.g9 35.d9 36.f11
