By that point it was obvious the game was hopeless. I think he was talking about
mistakes between about moves 15-25.

My opinion is that no computer program right now would play significantly
better. I think there were no obvious mistakes, but just a general
misunderstanding and detioriation of the position that led to its eventual
destruction.
