  offramp: 61.Qa7 seems to win for Botvinnik.

The point of 61. Qa7 is to prevent ...Ne3+, which is a strong reply to the suggested <61. h7>.

On 61. Qa7 Nxh6 62. Nb4+ Kb5 63. Qa6+ wins the queen, and on 61. Qa7 Qe4+ 62. Kh3 Qh1+ 63. Kxg4 Qe4+ 64. f4 Black soon runs out of checks.

Finally, after 61. Qa7 Qxd3 62. Qa4+ followed by 63. Qxg4, I don't see how Black can stop the h-pawn or get a perpetual check.

Jul-10-15  ughaibu: Interesting. Thanks.
