Feb-08-17  Big Pawn: <Dubois 2 mistakes:
10.Qd3 -0.25 (10.Na3 0.12)
15.Qf2 -1.77 (15.Nc3 0.12) >

Only making two mistakes isn't bad. That means Dubois was playing at computer level strength most of the time in this game. I don't care what year it is, that is strong chess. The only problem is that 15. Qf2 costing -1.77 is a pretty big mistake.
