The low point

Move 24

The engine had this as lost outright after Qe2. 33 moves later, apollo_x_xi won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

32...♕h5 cost 7.8 pawns. ♕e8 would have held it.

That put the queen on h5, where the rook on g5 covers it. 33.♖xh5 just takes it.

The point: 33.♕c7 ♖d5 34.♖xg8+ ♔xg8
