  Honza Cervenka: 80...Kh6 looks like a blunder, but after 80...Rh1 white can play 81.Rg7+ Kh6 (81...Kh8 82.Ng6#) 82.Rg6+ Kh7 83.Nd5 with a threat 84.Nf6+ and 85.Rg8#. In final position white threatens with 82.Rg6# and "stalemate" defense 82...Rg1 doesn't work here because of black Pawn on a3.
Aug-08-10  mjk: According to the Nalimov Tablebases, 79...a3? loses, 79...♖b1/c1/d1 draws.

  nizmo11: again, very typical Rotlewi game in this tournament: missed opportunities for both sides, and opponent is the last to err.
White missed his chances on moves 43 (Rf1/d1), 51 (Nf5!).
Black in turn could have forced draw with 44...Qe3!, also 58...Rxb6 59.Nd5+ Kd6 60.Nxb6 Kc5 was was another way to draw, avoiding R+N vs R endgame.
Finally Black missed on move 79 That White was weaving a mating net with 80. Kf7 and 81.Kg8!
