The low point

Move 14

The engine had this as lost outright after fxg6. 27 moves later, nesboldt won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

12...f5 cost 4.1 pawns. ♖a5 would have held it.

That walks into 13.exf5: the rook on e1 gets a clear line, and the knight on e7 sits at the end of it.

The point: 13.e5 d5 14.exd6 ♕xd6
