with 20-20 (I think) hindsight, looks like |9.k14 would have been much better

lessee ...

after |9.k14, black obviously cannot play J18 again

if 10.j19, 11.j20
if 10.j20, 11.j18

all attacks I can find on the N13 peg look to have an easy parry

What about |9.k14 10.j19 11.j20 12.i21?

|9.k14 10.j19 11.j20 12.i21 maybe still wins up the left side? 13.g19 14.h19 15.e18 16.g17 17.f15 18.f14 19.d14 20.h14 21.f11

though it's surely better to just respond with 11.g19 right away. 12.h20 13.e18 14.f21 15.b21 16.d21 17.d22 - so Bob's |9.k14 still looks good to me.

Yes |9.k14 was much better. Perhaps I would have switched to the top with something like 10.q5 but then after 11.q6 12.r7 13.o7 14.o10 15.o11 16.n8 17.m8 18.q9 19.k9 20.l14 21.j11 it would seem white still wins.

FWIW -- my original post wasn't about "how could I have won?", but rather "how could I have not lost the game right here?"

and it appears |9.k14 is the answer -- remainder of the game still to be played
