|33.n3 is an interesting variation which I discuss in the post https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3533477/the-coign-ladder
White should have played |31.k12 and then 32.g5 would not work for black.

The position as of |28.q5 looks like Puzzle 50. https://www.ibiblio.org/twixtpuzzles/?id=50
So, the first thing I'd think of is 29.p5. Anything wrong with that? Looks to me like that should win it for David. I mean the other David. White! I mean White.

Yes that looks winning for white, but |29.k12 might be easier. Or even |27.k12. I was lucky.
One continuation is |39.s13 40.q15 41.t15 42.t18 43.u17 44.u20 45.s18 46.r19 47.q19 48.p20 49.n22 50.n19 51.j20 52.m17 or 49.g20 50.g21 51.m19 52.n21 53.f16 54.c19
