The low point

Move 22

4.3 pawns down after Rd8. 6 moves later, heavenlygo won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

12.♗c7 cost 3.6 pawns. ♘c7+ would have held it.

That walks into 12...♕c8: the bishop on c7 has to move, and the bishop on c4 sits right behind it.

The point: 12...♕xc7 13.♗xc7 ♗b4+ 14.♔e2
