At this point I figured my chances lay with the "Jerome pawns".
17.h3 Nf6 18.Qd3
After the game, Stockfish 14 preferred mixing it up, eventually devolving to a Rook and pawns vs Rook and pawns endgame with 18.Rab1 Qa3 19.f5 d5 20.e5 Nh5 21.Qe3 Bxf5 22.g4 Bxc2 23.Rbc1 Nf4 24.Rxc2 Ne6 25.Rf5 b5 26.Nxd5 Qxe3 27.Nxe3 Nxd4 28.Rxf8+ Rxf8 29.Rc5 Rf3 30.Nf5 Nxf5 31.gxf5 Rxf5 32.Rxc6 Rxe5 33.Ra6 Re7. Whew! But, all very logical and better for Black.
Later on, I consulted it again, and found the alternative line 18.Rab1 Nxe4 19.Nxe4 Qxe4+ 20.Nf2 Qxf4 21.Qxf4 Rxf4. This is not nearly as deep as the line above, but Black is two pawns up and White's "Jerome pawns" have been decimated.
For the umpteenth time, I was happy that I had not been playing against a computer.
18...Qb6 19.g4 Bd7
20.f5 Rad8 21.Ne2 Rde8 22.Ng3 a6
I think my opponent was comfortable with his position, and was ready to answer 23.Rab1 with 23...Qa7.
23.Rae1 Bc8 24.g5 Nd7 25.Kg2
I wanted to play e4e5, but I first needed to move my King so that the d-pawn was not pinned by Black's Queen.
25...c5 26.c3 cxd4 27.cxd4 Qa5
I was making slow progress with my pawns on the Kingside.
28.Rf2
Uh, wrong Rook? Blundering. (Not my most embarassing oversight, but in the top 2 or 3.)
28...Qxe1
White resigned
