I think I should have won this game, trying to figure out where it went south ...

|14.p10 15.r10 16.q6 17.p9 18.o7 looks better, but is it enough?

Well, without that pesky peg at n9, I'd have been able to play

23.g10 24.h6

looks pretty good, but is it just wishful thinking?

But |14.q16 might lead to a draw.

15.m15 16.m11 17.s13 18.p14 19.s17 20.r17 21.w17 22.q8 23.p10 24.n9 25.s8 26.u12 27.r10 28.t16 29.v15 30.v17 31.u18 32.t14 33.t15 34.u16 35.r16 36.p18 37.u15 38.u14 39.u13 40.u8 41.u7 42.t12 43.v11 44.t10 45.u9 46.w7 47.t11 48.u10 49.t9

well, quite frankly, in a game, I would have ignored 21.m13 and played 22.k7 -- leading to

21.m13 22.k7 23.k6 24.l5 25.j8 26.j6 27.i6 28.h5 29.d6 30.g7 31.e8 32.h9 33.i11 white wins :(

no amount of analysis is ever going to help me "foresee" that I need to get that k12 peg in place to support the attack against that final Achilles

Well black doesn't have to play K12 so soon. Even in that final position you showed,

getting myopic in my old age, I guess

all I saw was that I couldn't prevent k10 -- never saw m11

nor did I see e12
