The low point

Move 52

The engine had this as lost outright after e3+. 75 moves later, veggiemann_chess won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

14.♖fe1 cost 4.5 pawns. b4 would have held it.

That walks into 14...♘xc4+: the queen on c5 gets a clear line, and the king on g1 sits at the end of it.

The point: 14...♘xf1+ 15.♔xf1 ♕e7 16.♘xc7+
