  offramp: A very good example of how to win that rare and difficult ending QvN.

  sisyphus: A very good example? White takes 25 moves from the position after 73...Ke6, and mate is still four moves away. (Nalimov says it shouldn't take more than 13.) My impression is Black does a better job defending than White does forcing the play.

White needs to force the Black king to the side of the board. 74.Qg5 would force it to the seventh rank. Instead, after Qg6 the Black king manages to stay in the center for a while.

80.Kd5: The White king moves. It should oppose the Black king, helping to drive it back.

86.Ke4: The White king advances once more. But 87.Kd4 is asking to be checked again. With 89.Kf4! White gets the right idea; put the king two diagonal squares from the Black knight, where it's hard to harass.

And not 90.Qf3+, but Qb3. The White queen needs to hem in the Black pieces from the other side.

Here's how it might be done: 74.Qg5 Kf7 75.Qe5 Ne8 76.Qf5+ Ke7 77.Qd7+ and the Black king is forced back to the edge.

...Kf8 78.Qe6 Ng7 or else the knight is lost.

79.Qf6+ Kg8 80.Kd7 The White king is brought up.

...Nh5 81.Qg6+ and now if Black tries to save the knight he gets mated in three more moves

...Ng7 82.Ke7 Kh8 83.Kf7 and mate next move.
