|44.e16 45.t16 46.v16 47.s18 48.t15 49.r16 50.t14 51.s15 52.s16 and things are looking very drawish.

|44.e16 45.t16 46.v16 47.s18 48.t15 49.r16 50.t14 51.s15 52.s16 and then 53.c17 54.d19 55.d20 56.e21 57.c18 58.d18 if white tries to do down the left side.

For that matter black could have just played |44.a16 with a draw.

Yes white could have taken a draw at any point, but the bot behaves strangely in drawn positions. B15 was a tempo tosser, my golden opportunity to win for the first time. |44.r18 would have been better, but my r16 should have been good enough.

Or 55.l19 56.m19 57.o18 58.l17

I'm just trying to think like the bot, to see where your line might go off the rails...

|46.e19 47.e18 48.f21 49.g19 50.i20 and then maybe 51.j16? ... 52.j18 53.i18 54.o20 55.o18 ... 54.n20 55.q19 56.p19 57.o18 58.r20 59.s18 ...

But if you start with |44.r18, it looks much better - 45.d16 46.e19 47.e18 48.f21 49.g19 50.i20 51.j16 52.j18 53.i18 54.n20

Thanks for pointing that out. How about
|44.r18 45.d16 46.e19 47.e18 48.f21 49.g19 50.i20 51.j16 52.j18 53.i18 54.n20 55.p19 56.o19 57.n18 58.m18 59.l17 60.q20

Or
|44.r18 45.d16 46.e19 47.e18 48.f21 49.g19 50.i20 51.j16 52.j18 53.i18 54.n20 55.m18 56.l19 57.p19 58.o19 59.o21 60.p17 61.n19 62.n18

Huh, your second comment didn’t show up on my screen even after I posted two replies. But when I reloaded the page it appeared. Glad we are in agreement.

25.t15?
