The low point

Move 31

The engine had this as lost outright after Rxf4+. 6 moves later, cookeimonstr won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

31.♔f2 cost 13.8 pawns. ♔h2 would have held it.

That walks into 31...♖xf4+: the king on f2 and the knight on e4 are both attacked at once.

The point: 31...♕e2+ 32.♘f2 ♕d2 33.♔h3
