83. Kh3 Rg8 84. Kh4 a1=Q 85. Kh3 Qh1# 0-1 {AvernoX checkmated}
At move 25, Averno played Rxe7 in the following position:
[D] r4k1r/4bpp1/p6p/5n1n/PpBp1B2/1N1P1P2/1PP2K1P/4R1R1 w - -
This looks good. White in fact was only temporarily down material, as it won two
pawns in addition to the Bishop. Arasan's score went negative for a while.
However, with the reduced material, White didn't have enough attack and Black,
with the two Rooks, was able to prevail. It is not clear to me where White went
wrong, but at move 37, Black expected h4 instead of Kg4, and after 37.. Kg7 had
a positive score (+0.67).
