The low point

Move 50

The engine had this as lost outright after Rf7+. 12 moves later, tewald won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

49...a1=♕ cost 10.4 pawns. ♖g1 would have held it.

That put the queen on a1, where the rook on a7 covers it. 50.♖xa1 just takes it.

The point: 50.♔e3 ♗c6 51.♘f6 ♖xg6
