Move 46, P*47 was better. Gote could continue attack safely even if Sente answered it with R68. The gold on 67 prevents a rook-control. Thus, Gote can attack with the move order as follow: Sx45, Sx, Rx...,which could be a faster attack relatively.

At move 73, Hx54 was an alternative. Gote answers it with Rx68+. Then the game would continue as follow: Hx81, Gx Gx68...

After that, I am not sure how the game will continue, but I will try to show an example. Perhaps R*59? R*31, S*71? N*63 B*12(Diag. 3), S*78, B*79, G*69, Bx88? Kx Rx29(Diag. 4) Nx71+ Sx B*18 Dx Lx S*82 (Diag. 5) an even game.

Here, move 99 was an attack chance from Gote. Sente could continue attack with the move order as follow: P+61, Bx64, Hx71, Sx, Tx...
Sente should've attacked Gote's king to use the rook on 64 as a decoy. If Gote actually took the rook, the bishop on 64 would become a useless piece at the moment. Thus Sente can continue rush with keeping initiative.
