Mar-13-14  Poisonpawns: Interesting that White rejected 35.Rxh5! which forces mate.I speculate that an interesting phenomenon took place.After 35.Rxh5 Kxh5;the winning continuation is the seemingly obvious Rf4! but if Rf5+? Kh6

and black is better! I think Bagirov used his energy to calculate variation stemming from 36.Rf5+;and seeing that did not work,settled for 35.Be2.The phenomenon that I believe took place is that when calculating finishing attacks on the King, we are so used to a check being involved or a forcing sequence. I believe this blinded Bagirov from seeing 36.Rf4 although it is really simple.

It may have been that White saw a highly probable win with the protected passed Kside pawns and went with the simplification idea.
