  Honza Cervenka: 43...Qa2 44.Qd3 exf4 45.gxf4 Nh6 should be winning. Apparently 38.Bxb3 was a serious mistake.
Aug-14-19  Olavi: It has long been thought that 49...h5 is better, if as in the game 50.c6 Rc3 51.Rb7 Nh6; and that later 51...Kf8 still wins, if 52.Rb8+ Kg7 53.Rb7 f5. (Botvinnik). Does that hold its own against modern insight?
