  Retireborn: According to Larsen in his book, the final position had to be adjudicated by Szabo. Not difficult, says Larsen, who implies the variation 82...Rb7 83.Rg8 Bc7 84.Ra8+ Kb6 85.Kb4 as Zugzwang.

Black should not have lost though. There seems no reason not to play 71...Rxf3, and 73...b5+ 74.Kxb5 Kb6 is another possibility.

The position is gone after 75.Nd8+!
