There are some pretty complicated lines starting with |21.g1422.g21 but it's definitely tighter. And I don't like Black's chances trying to beat White in the top left, especially with how much you outplayed me in the top right.

Twixtbot says if |21.g1422.i19 then 23.g1924.g2025.e18 and then Twixtbot pretty much gives up on that corner; apparently White has won it. If |21.g1422.g21 then 23.i20 and again, White has it.
In fact, if we back Twixtbot up to |21.g14, it gives up on that corner immediately. And if we back it up to |20.g16, Twixtbot comes up with 21.g14 as its best move.

The game is far from over at that point, though. Here is a long continuation from Twixtbot:
All of this points to the fact that G14 is the move I missed. May not have been a slam dunk, but it is what I should have played. Thanks all for the input!
I tried a few moves for Black, don't see an answer. Tell me what you think.

(White wins, but I don't trust lines that long)
