Something bothers me about this Perfect Game

There are no 3500 Elo engines yet. Stockfish is about 3300+. As for the game, white clearly lost all advantage(albeit small) on move 24. Kc1? And it's very weird for Stockfish to allow that (even 4-sec-per-move engine analysis by lichess's Stockfish showed that). Maybe there wasn't enough time on each move? Then after move 24 the game simplified too much for any decent engine to easily draw.
It might have been "only moves" found often by the defender, or maybe just a lack of computational power to look deep into a winning line; I do not know. Sure a draw is not a totally unexpected result to witness.

The TCEC tournament is a very cool way to look at engines playing one against the others on powerful hardware. There you see the engines with a higher rating dominating the other ones; In particular Komodo and Stockfish; you'll find also previous "seasons" to look at!
DVDRAZOR you are a genius, now that i think about it, there wasnt enough time but i wasnt sure it made a difference as i thought the thinking time was consistent.
Will try Komodo or Fritz and see result

but stockfish is supposed to be best..
