The low point

Move 21

The engine had this as lost outright after Nc4+. 29 moves later, zephyrusv won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

20...♘d3 cost 8.2 pawns. ♕xd6 would have held it.

That did nothing about the bishop on f5, hanging before the move and hanging after. 21.♘xf5+ takes it.

The point: 21.♕a5+ ♔b7 22.♘e4 ♗xe4
