Plenty. Including some things that are completely inexplicable.

Already out of book (although like an English opening).

c6 blocks a good knight square without doing much good.
At this point I think Getclub misses a trick.
White is slightly overstretched and I think 5. ... d5 is possible with 
advantage. Then 6. d4 exd4 7. exd4 Be7 etc. d6, Nc6, or Bb6 would also 
be OK.

More deckchair shuffling. Bg4 would give black some decent chances here.
Two minor pieces remain undeveloped (tweaking eval to encourage moving 
them might help). It is basically OK so far.

BxN doen't help black. Ne7 is better

Very very brave (or foolhardy) the king needs a safe haven!

In heavens name why??? This move isn't even in the top 10!
Ng4 to harrass whites rook is by far the most obvious move.
Otherwise white will double them and punch a big hole into what is an 
already fractured kingside.

Too late.

I admire helpbots bravery. I am not sure I would risk this sac against a 
machine. Forced sequence of moves follows.

I think 24. .... Kg7 would be wiser.

Words fail me. I cannot understand what Getclub thinks it is playing at 
here. Rf8 or Qe7 are the least bad continuations. This just leaves the 
king hopelessly exposed to the enemy queen after another pawn falls.

30. ... Qh6 would get some counterplay.
Rf8 just helps white put his knight onto f4. It is all downhill now.

> 34. Kg1-f2{242} Nc6-b8{2044}

I think 34. BxN bxB 35. d5  pinning rook against king is faster.

It means helpbot is stronger than the program. He also has the patience 
of a saint if those Getclub timings are in seconds 30-40 mins per move.
