Man, that's nothing for the chess.com engine - on a computer analysis that I ran on this game, I had a fun experience:

On move 28, White took my queen with his. Instead of recapturing 28 . . . axb5 (the ONLY way), the analysis called this a mistake (!) and instead suggested 28 . . . Kf8 as better! It also called this a MATE IN 8 FOR WHITE!

It favored me dropping my queen for no compensation and getting mated in 8 instead of recapturing the queen. I expect much better out of "Computer Analysis (~2200 strength)."

Consider upgrading your membership.

You'll get a stronger engine response, and more Computer Analysis submissions to boot.

Even extremely strong chess engines make poor recommendations for moves at the end of variations. The longer you go down a variation, the less reliable it will be.
