  Mateo: The extraordinary skill of Andersson allowed him to win some drawish endings but also to draw some very difficult endings, and sometimes some lost endings. Here, he finds a way to save himself.

31.Nxc6+ <White has an edge. The b4 pawn is weak.> Ke8 32.b3 <Otherwise, Black plays b4-b3. Now White threatens to come with the King to d4, freing the White Knight from the defence of the e5 pawn, in order to take the b4 pawn without allowing the Black Knight to take the e5 pawn.> d4! 33.Kf2 d3! 34.Ke3?! <34. cxd3 Nc5 35. Ke3 Nxb3 and White will take the b4 pawn, winning a pawn, although Black has some drawing hopes with all the pawns on the same side.> dxc2 35.Kd2 Nc5 36.Kxc2 Na6 37.Kd3 Kd7 38.Nd4 Nc7 39.Kc4 Nd5 40.Nc2 h5 41.Kb5 <41. Nxb4 Ne3+.> Nf4 42.Ne1 <42. f4 Nxg2 43. fxg5 Nh4 44. Nf4 sets a difficult problem to Black. It is not clear Black can draw.> Ng6 43.Nd3 Nh4 44.Nc5+?! <44. f4.> Ke7 45.g4 <45. Kxb4 Nxg2 46. Nd3 Nh4 47. Ne1=.> Nxf3 46.gxh5 <46. Nd3 hxg4 47. hxg4=.> Nxe5 47.Kxb4 g4 48.hxg4 Nxg4 49.Kc3 Nf6 50.h6 <50... Nd5+ 51. Kd4 Kf6 52. Nd7+ Kg6 53. Ne5+ Kxh6 54. Nxf7+ Kg6=.> 1/2-1/2
