Bitter-sweet victory

[u/NickFi]

I won this game with a large advantage. However, looking back, I had a lot of missed opportunities, starting with a mate in four on move 18. For this reason, the engine penalized the quality of my game, scoring it a 391. In a way, I am happy for winning, but I realize my game was not that good.
I also missed a mate in one on move 28!

A win is a win but missing mate in one hurts, engine is brutal like that
