I suggested something like 7.t11 in a previous game, but it doesn't seem to wprk now. Maybe |7.m14 would have created more threats, for example 8.n79.t11 I don't really know.

As for move 7, Twixtbot responds to both |7.m14 and |7.t11 with 8.n7, so that seems to be the threat that needs to be addressed. The bot prefers |7.g10.

Your 19.f17 variation also works. 20.d19 21.d18 22.c17 23.k19 24.i18 25.j17 26.l21 27.m18 28.j20 29.n20 30.o22 31.o23 32.p20 33.m22 34.g12 35.g13 36.e9 37.f10.
