The low point

Move 49

4.0 pawns down after Qe2+. 11 moves later, melvin-25 won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

47.♕e7 cost 5.5 pawns. ♕c4+ would have held it.

That did nothing about the knight on c6, hanging before the move and hanging after. 47...♕xc6+ takes it.

The point: 47...♔f8 48.♕e6 ♕g5 49.♔c4
