What a blunder! This move removed a lot of possibilities... 7.t18 would definitely be better.

I don't know... is this necessary to connect to the right side? j5 was definitely useful for white :)

Ah yes, I forget the comments aren't recorded per move (actually it's better the way it is than the way I thought it would be!), the first comment was for 7.t17 and the second comment was for 28.j2 :)
|36.i5 is the final losing move... 36.n737.h4 instead would be better: now k10 can connect to the right through the top or bottom, giving black more possibilities on the left side. 38.h12 doesn't seem to work, I wonder if there's something better?
|38.k12 - with 37.k7 in place, black has to be mindful of the l12 threat and has to go as slow as 38.k12
I don't know, first 34.n7 35.j5 36.i5 37.r4 38.l8 ... looks dire for white 39.l11 40.m12 41.k9 42.k11 looks like an easy black win.
