The low point
Move 36
The engine had this as lost outright after Rxa6. 30 moves later, james_england won.
Not everything was clean
The one slip
32...♔h7 cost 4.7 pawns. ♖g8 would have held it.
That walks into 33.♖d7+: the king on h7 and the bishop on b7 are both attacked at once.
The point: 33.e6 ♖xg4+ 34.♔h3 ♖g8
