Starting at 33 min or so, Seirawan launches into this game. He seemed to have miscalculated a bunch and ends up losing.
Nov-10-16  Saniyat24: What if Black in the third move plays Qc7, Bd7, Nd7 or b7? Playing Bf5 before White moving his Knight to Nf3 only lands Black in trouble...
Nov-10-16  Saniyat24: Was Black's 8th move Qb3 a minor mistake?
Jun-16-25  thegoldenband: Apparently (i.e. per Stockfish) White had a big advantage through most of the game, but 28. ♕f6+ was a big mistake from Jan, and 29...♗e6 would have led to equality.

In the YouTube video linked earlier Yasser says of 29...♗c5 that "and here things started to go to hell", and Stockfish agrees.
