The low point

Move 17

The engine had this as lost outright after Qxg7+. 39 moves later, katatonia11 won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

16...f5 cost 8.5 pawns. ♖g8 would have held it.

That did nothing about the bishop on g7, hanging before the move and hanging after. 17.♕xg7+ takes it.
