The low point

Move 15

6.9 pawns down after Nf3. 29 moves later, zhukewei won.

Not everything was clean

The one slip

14...f6 cost 7.9 pawns. ♗xe5 would have held it.

That walks into 15.♘f3: the bishop on g3 gets a clear line, and the bishop on d6 sits at the end of it.

The point: 15.♗xe5 ♕e8 16.♗e2 ♖a8
