Analysis

t3gantry met 4...Bc5 with 5.d4 and came out of the King's English with a broad pawn centre, a bishop holding Black's knight on f6 in place, and an engine advantage of +2.0. jhonsnow23 gave up the dark-squared bishop on c3 and sat tight, and White's edge drained away without a blow being struck: the pin was released with 11.Bd2, and by move 19 the game was level.

That is where it turned, and jhonsnow23 turned it. With nothing wrong with the position, Black gave up a bishop for two pawns on h3 and went hunting for White's king. There was nothing there. t3gantry took the piece, and after 20.gxh3 White was close to four pawns up.

The rest was conversion, slow rather than clean. A pair of rooks came off, White's rook took the seventh rank with 29.Re7, and Black's kingside pawn advance loosened Black's own king instead of White's. A forced mate appeared at move 29 and went unplayed, but the position never stopped winning, and 32.Qxg3+ ended it.
