Lost. 52. Kg6 was the actual mistake. Stockfish sees mate in 30 for black at depth 42 after this move. Before this move it sees +8 at depth 32 for white. I was winning until here.

I should have pushed the pawns up instead of the King, with 49. g5 rather than 49. Kg5 that I played. I was scared of checks from behind so that's why I was doing this.

Also, I was trying a new combination from the last game against Battle Chess (NES) [Level 2] and thought I could do better. I won that game -- https://youtu.be/3AoP3ITcgIw -- but lost this one.
