The low point

Move 19

The engine had this as lost outright after e3. 22 moves later, ampersandhog won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

7...♘xd4 cost 2.5 pawns. ♗g7 would have held it.

That put the knight on d4, where the queen on d1 covers it. 8.♕xd4 just takes it.

The point: 8.♘f3 ♘xd4 9.♘xd4 e5
