It seems like their only big mistake was allowing us to get a draw at the end. However, Stockfish 6 did mildly disagree with some of their moves. For instance, it preferred 18. Qc2 or 18. Ra2 to 18. Rb1, 25. g5 to 25. f4 (which allows us to sacrifice our Knight on g4), and it disliked the move 34. e5. It also liked 14. Nxe5 more than 14. Na3 probably because it prevents 14. ... b5, which in the game was a sound move that equalized. On the other hand, they did play with great accuracy after we sacrificed our pawn. They seemed to start slipping once we got in the Rook trades.
As promised, I have analyzed our recently finished Vote Chess game against the Boris Spassky Chess Club with an engine and I am posting the analysis. I annotated it using Stockfish 6 in Scid vs PC. From what I have seen, it seems like we started to go wrong when we tried to double our Rooks on the b-file, and Bxa3 was the blunder that got us into trouble near the end.
I hope you find the analysis helpful! If you want the PGN, I can post it in text format so you can copy and paste it.
