French Defense: Advance Variation, Nimzowitsch System

From laussy.org's Blog about Chess.
Published: 17:30, 7 February 2015.

An embarrassing game, with 3 blunders by White, 4 by Black. It was a 5 minutes game and much time was devoted in the opening phase, dominated by Black until the blunder 24..Qe6, missed by White, however. Last moves were made within fractions of seconds. Final countdown was 1s for White, 4 for Black.
