Material is level, and at first glance it could seem like a fairly innocuous queenless middlegame position. But White is lagging in development, and Black's minor pieces are much better than their white counterparts, as is the black queen's rook.
The engines Stockfish10 and Komodo10 reckon best play goes 25.Bd3 Nb2 26.Na3 Rd8 27.Be2 Nxd1 28.Rxd1 Rxd1+ 29.Bd1 Rd7 30.Ke2 Bxf2, when Black is the exchange and a pawn up - clearly hopeless for White.
The game saw 25.Nd2 Re2 26.Ne4 (26.Nxc4 Rxf2+ 27.Kg1 bxc4 does not help) Rxc2 27.Rd7+ Kh6 28.Nf6 Rf2+ 29.Kg1 Rd2+ 0-1
