But what was Steven's last chance?

My bot tells me there is this winning line for Black: 24.j6 25.n18 26.p10 27.o8 28.q8 29.n10 30.n11 31.u6 32.h17 33.u10 34.s12 35.t12 36.t10 37.s9 38.t14 39.r11 40.r15

Apparently move 28 is too late. Move 26? Bot seems to think Steven still has the upper hand, slightly. The lesson seems to be that Black should have stopped focusing on the bottom path and worked across the top.

|26.l7 27.n8 28.q7 29.p7 30.p11 31.o10 32.p5 33.r8 34.s8 35.k7 36.p12 37.d15 38.h22 39.q11 40.q14 41.s14 42.r11

or 28.n16 29.t17 30.p10 31.d15 32.k9 33.p11 34.q7 35.d20 36.j11 37.k5 38.m5 39.o6 40.o12 41.r5 42.t19 43.l19 44.o4 45.j13 46.l10 47.q9 48.t4 49.o8 50.g7 51.q3 52.p6

Both are very long lines, though, so no guarantees.
