Rather amusingly all the mistakes have kept balancing each other out and the game is evaluated as dead even. But I suspect LZ is somewhat confused because there's still so much aji with the marked stones apparently.]

And oh man. The biggest swing in the game so far. This move drops more than 25%. I thought I had my variations covered..]

OK, so the way I understand it now, is that by forcing white to connect at A, White gains more liberties, but also weakens Black's corner. What White really wants to go after here is the cutting stone and the corner at the same time, forcing Black to make a great concession with either of them. I.e. throughout this, the yolo/bad cut still seems to have been the focal point.]

Although it has to be said LZ claims a massive ~75% winrate for Black so it is of course an impossible margin for someone of my skill level to lose with.]
