I copy the important part of the game to this forum
It was a championship under 10 and I know from expereince that there are childs
at this age with rating of 1800.

The game was a game of more than 500 plies because the sides did not know or
prefered not to use the 50 move rule to ask for a draw.

I guess that the rating of the players was close to 1700-1800 based
on this game.
There were no stupid errors but there were some small tactical errors like
12...Qxc3 that is losing the queen for a rook and a bishop and 14.Ra2 that miss
winning that deal.
