Anna Rudolf

So there's a funny story with this game. Recently, I've been taking an online endgame course. The course was created by Anna Rudolf, a prominent International Master of chess. The funny thing is, though, on chess.com, there is an Anna Rudolf bot that you can play against. The bot supposedly plays at the same strength as Rudolf (2400) and plays moves and openings that she would. 

Well...

I actually beat the Anna Rudolf bot today. I think it was the seventh time I played against "her." All the other times I lost. 

The super ironic thing is—and this is really funny—this game I won against the Anna bot today goes into the endgame, and I actually used some of the techniques that the real Anna taught me in her endgame course. 

The game is below. I've annotated it so you can see what I was thinking every step of the way.
