Violet Maven, bravo! It didn't take that long. Will angels sing me to my rest?###

Hello sylvestris,
I see Violet Maven checkmated you in game #522140 on move 61.
I reviewed the game, and your move #19 surprised me, as you had just moved your N to b4, threatening Nxc2 to fork the white queen and rook. However, after a3, you just moved your knight back to c6, wasting your move. Neither of you commented on the apparent gaffe.
The next surprising move was on move #21, where Violet Maven could have moved her queen to take your rook on h8 with check. Instead, she moved her own rook to f1, allowing you trade queens and keep your rook. Again, neither of you remarked on this move choice.
The game could have finished in 50 moves, had Violet Maven moved c3 in move 48, instead of taking your pawn on b3 and allowing your bishop on a2 to get onto the board.
