  perfidious: <CIO> Maybe Kamsky lost on time, but the position on the board holds out no hope: 71.Rb7+ Kf8 (71....Kg8 72.Kg6) 72.Kg6 Rf3 73.g4, with 74.f6 next on the programme.

  Check It Out: Thanks <perf>, I see it now.
Dec-15-12  Sleeping kitten: Another way is 71. f6+ immediately. Then 71...♖xf6 72. ♖b7+ ♖f7 73. ♖xf7+ ♔xf7 74. ♔xh5 is a winning pawn endgame. It is hardly worth mentioning 71...♔f7 72. ♖b7+ ♔e8 (or 72... ♔e6 73. f7 aiming for the same pawn endgame) 73. f7+ ♔f8 74. ♔xh5.
