Hello Mr. Bush, I was just wondering early on during setup moves, do you think 6.p14 was too low of a move, and should 10.i18 have been 10.i19 to a 2-5 move. Have made any difference? And your move 19.f13, I had no answer for. I had to close my connects on right side, or lose them. And with no pegs within a considerable distance from your f13, I had no game on lower left side. Well played, and thank you.

No, the 6.p14 was not played too low at this point of the game, I was thinking the move I thought about early in the game was 8.h11. I wanted to play 8.k12.
After |8.k12 9.f10 of course early in the game it is difficult to render an absolute verdict, but this looks strong on the left for white.
Notice I use a vertical bar | before I list any branch from the game continuation.
Please ask about any variation you wish to.
However, I believe 21.t11 22.r12 23.u13 24.s9 25.s8 26.r7 27.t10 28.t6 29.q12 30.s14 31.t15 32.q10 33.r14 34.n9 35.n10 36.m11 37.o8 38.p9 39.p6 40.o10 41.p10 would have won for white.
if 12.f18, 13.g19 14.h17 15.f16 16.g15 17.f15
if 12.f16, 13.f15
