This is the bishop's knightmare, maybe too closed to win though by force. (blitz 5+0)
You know this game is painful when we have a bishop and a knight with a crapload of pawns at move 21
What is ACPL 8?
8 AcPL = 8 average centipawn loss, i.e. white lost on average 0.08 pawn units per move as compared to Stockfish computer analysis.
White played strongly and had a definite advantage in the good knight versus bad bishop endgame, but I believe black could have held the endgame. He probably should just play 73...Bc7, on 74 Nb3 74...Bb6 and on 74 Nd3 74...Bd6.

Indeed, at the beginning I thought it should be winnable. But during the winning tries I got the impression that it might be too closed to be won. So what, yet another blitz game!
Nice game. I'm surprised black blundered on 73...Bd8.
Looks like a draw, and after 50 moves he makes a little slip with 50 seconds left.

After bxc4, someone suggested the pawn sac Nb2!?! in Karpov-Kasparov style to leave the white squares open, but this is probably draw as well
