This was cool!

Played an opponent
They just got a queen
Just managed to kill them with the bishop pair
What do you think of this game?
I think that there were too many mistakes from both sides and that there is hardly any point in asking us to analyze a blitz game.
Yes there were quite a few mistakes but some interesting features at the end.
It is quite amazing that even with 2 bishops, white is unable to prevent black from queening after 64... a3. The c3 and c4 pawns really interfere with the diagonals.
You did quite well in constructing a mating net (with your opponent's help) and the final position is indeed pretty.

A queen versus 2 bishops (assuming the pawns get exchanged) is a win for the queen but it takes more than 50 moves. It reminded me of the Stockfish - Houdini game in the TCEC superfinal (season 9 game 17) where it was awarded a win for the queen because it was adjudicated as mate in 72 even though both engines had 0.00 evaluations.
