i8 is otherwise good, but I think White should've played c8, due to

White should've foiled D7 at C8.

I think i6 instead, though I don't have a good explanation.]

Black should have played g8, because that connection was far more important than the one from j4 to h6.]

I am back to having a proven win that I know how to carry out. ​ If I remember correctly, C3 was the usual move for Black in this situation. See the next variation.]
