Black, 550 vs. Timothy Johns, Unrated

Date:
Event: GRCC 2021 Fall Swiss
Time Control: G/55;d5
Result: 0-1 (win)

This was the final round of the 2021 Fall Swiss. It was a very unusual game. While we both made our share of mistakes, I played both better and faster than my opponent for nearly the entire game; by move 15 I had 42 minutes left to White's 27, and I achieved a crushing advantage in the endgame which peaked at -72.8 on move 56. Yet, in the last ten or twelve moves, I burned through my remaining time trying to prevent a promotion and ended up flagging with a mere nine seconds on White's clock.

Unfortunately, I made a number of notation errors, especially towards the end of the game when, despite low time, I chose to continue recording. I corrected these errors to the best of my recollection and made note of them in the game record.
