The Queen COULD have actually saved this game for white. There was one opportunity, referred to as the “silent move” in the video, when white’s king was under no pressure. Queen F3 would have broken the link between black’s bishop and rook while simultaneously putting pressure on both pieces. Black could have take the Queen with the rook, but it would have been taken in turn, either by the pawn on G2, or by the king. The trade would have hurt, but black was up a Queen anyway and the Queen served no other purpose except to sit there while black won. Lol

96 accuracy (and I think that depends on the bot) for 1844 ... as you say, what an incredible incredible game! Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen this game and it was a treat!... I was unaware, I and I realised I shouldn't of been, that they played amazing chess centuries ago! I was under the impression this level of play didn't come into the landscape until Morphy. Petroff really did play this game like a bot!

Great game, Zach, thanks for posting and explaining it.

I wonder if you'd mind uploading it with some historic notes. Cheers!
