The low point
Move 12
4.5 pawns down after h4. 13 moves later, ifchesswaschinese won.
Not everything was clean
The one slip
10.♘xg5 cost 2.0 pawns. ♘xd4 would have held it.
That walks into 10...hxg5: the rook on h8 gets a clear line, and the bishop on h4 sits at the end of it.
The point: 10...exd4 11.♘a4 gxh4 12.e5
