Florian swapped 1.F5, so twixter plays black after that. On Boardspace, swap is swap-colors, but here, swap is swap-firstpeg. I didn't want this position to be a mirror image (reflected on the long diagonal) of the Boardspace game. So, the move numbering is one off from the game on Boardspace.

I believe black could have won with 20.f14 for example 21.d13 22.c13 with two branches:
23.f12 24.g12 25.h11 26.i11 27.b14 28.d9 29.d8 30.f10 31.c10 32.d11 or
23.e15 24.e12 25.g14 26.j14 27.h12 28.g11
Earlier in the game, maybe 9.s17 would have been better for white. If black responds locally, 10.r17 11.q18 12.q15 13.n15 14.p16 15.q12 16.s14 17.h19 and white should be winning.
A better line for black might be 10.l9 11.q12 and I don't know who should win.
By the way during the game I was really scared by a possible L9, i think it would have been better for black to play it really early in the game.
Yes an early L9 would have probably made my task simpler.
