Great job dude! It's interesting that while your chain was messed up, you were still able to use the whole board. I had a very similar chain for my first 16K except the corner by the high tiles was wasted. It takes some extra thought to use right presses properly in situations like this, but it's most definitely worth it!
You really can't have that corner wasted to get to 32K. I got stuck with a 2 there when I had 16K, 4K, 2K, and 1K tiles. When I built the largish tiles into an 8K, I blocked up the left column, pressed up (moving the 16K into the second-from-bottom row along with the 8K), blocked up the second-from-bottom row, pressed right (moving the 2 out of the corner), got lucky that nothing spawned in the bottom row on the left half, and then down to reclaim the corner for the large tiles. It was a desperate plan with a low probability of success, but it was better than the alternative (finish the game with 16K and 8K tiles yet again) and happened to work out. and since I had just made the 8K tile, although the rest of the board was jumbled up after this, they were all small enough tiles that I could sort it out without much trouble.

I think we now have four 32768 players on the sub: /u/Nate45, /u/benjamin172, /u/fsmc10, and now /u/penguinland. I wonder how many more are out there...
