On Humpy's part, she could have improved upon the game continuation with 22. Bxa5, which could have enabled her to snaffle up the a5-pawn as well due to the weak position of black's king.

Yep, Black put her dark-squared bishop on a square where it was <UNPROTECTED> and it was lost after the <DOUBLE ATTACK> 32 ♖d1-d5!.

<LOOSE PIECES DROP OFF (LPDO)>, as Dr. Nunn likes to say.
