The low point

Move 18

5.7 pawns down after Rd1. 7 moves later, locistro won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

13...♘d4 cost 5.0 pawns. dxe4 would have held it.

That did nothing about the queen on b4, hanging before the move and hanging after. 14.cxb4 takes it.

The point: 14.♕xf7+ ♔xf7 15.cxb4 ♘d4
