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
