  fredthebear: A mighty fine lesson here <Straclonoor>. Capturing the convenient en prise e4-pawn doesn't pay.

  beatgiant: Yes, I was amazed that 67...Kxe4 only draws.

Maybe Black thought he could win with 69...b5 (so 70. axb5 Kc5 etc. is routine) but missed 69...b5 70. a5 Kc5 <71. b4+> saving the game.
