The low point
Move 25
7.4 pawns down after Kf8. 33 moves later, pitbill67 won.
Not everything was clean
The one slip
25.♖xg7+ cost 7.7 pawns. ♖f5+ would have held it.
That did nothing about the bishop on h5, hanging before the move and hanging after. 25...♖xh5 takes it.
The point: 25...g6 26.♖xe5+ ♔f7 27.♗f3
