Black came out of the opening with a decisive advantage, later I checked it was -7 and somehow lost all the edge in the middle game. Played so poorly in the middle game that, black managed to get themselves a horrible-looking triple pawn structure on kingside.
The time control was 3+2, and both colors were getting under time pressure in the late middle game. The end game was chaotic and leads to many dubious decisions, but overall was a good game to play and learn from.
PGN for the game is:
