Looking over this game again after a couple months, at first I thought I resigned in a winning position. I could have attacked with 64.T19, and then after 65.T1866.U1767.P2068.S16 we reach a position where Mate would lose if he plays 69.Q1770.Q12
The trick here is that I'm threatening R14**. But I'm sure Mate would have seen this and followed 64.T1965.T1866.U1767.P2068.S16 with 69.R12 or some other connecting move for that gap. Then after 70.Q1771.M18 he had a win.

Actually it would have been simpler and faster to answer 64.T19 with 65.P2066.R1867.M18. So, to answer yper's question, I had no defense. But I welcome any questions or alternate lines.
64.t19 65.t18 66.u17 67.t20 68.s16 69.s17 70.q12 71.u13 72.r14
Although I did not analyse the left side, I just assume that black can connect the M16 group to the left.
Earlier in the game black had the option to make a draw like this:
50.r7 51.s9 52.q5 53.q3 54.q4 55.p5 56.o3
|64.t19 65.t18 66.u17 67.p20 68.s16 69.r12 70.r18 71.m18?
Is there still something Black can do to win?
