|23.r19 (or something similar) was the more natural follow-up to the preceding moves, but I chickened out and thought I had a better chance of maybe winning the corner than connecting the left side to the right. Not very smart.

I'll agree with that.
Meanwhile, would somebody kindly explain to me why, after 4. I18 that 5. H17 doesn't work, since this would be my immediate reply. (I said 'kindly')

Twixtbot and I agree, after 4.I18, 5.H17 does work locally. It just doesn't have a strong connection to the top.

Twixtbot plays |23.r19 out to a Black victory: 24.i12 25.m7 26.n8 27.k12 28.h10 29.n9 30.m6 31.e13 32.k13 33.l14 34.l15
