The low point

Move 28

The engine had this as lost outright after Bxf3+. 38 moves later, thanekrios21 won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

26.♖xf3 cost 8.7 pawns. ♖ae1 would have held it.

That walks into 26...♗d5: the queen on b7 and the rook on f3 are both attacked at once.

The point: 26...♗g7 27.d5 ♖hd8 28.dxe6
