FM Anastasia Avramidou (Greece, 2330) beat GM Nino Batsiashvili (Georgia, 2466) in 41 moves, and the match ended 2–2.
It turned on 30...Ne8, the answer to a check on d8. Stockfish wanted 30...Qg8. After the knight went back its count went from a clear advantage for White (+1.28) to a win (+3.32). 31.Qb8 came straight back, and a move later the queen took the rook on a7.
Go back to 30.Qd8+ and look for the queen move Stockfish wanted, then play it on against the engine.
