) 35.Rxd1 Qe7 (forced due to threatening Rd7) 36.Rd7 Qf8 white retains clear edge. In ending, which arose around the 40th move, white had only minimal advantage thanks to more active pieces but with worse Pawn structure and so with precise play black should be able to hold his position. Unfortunately, it was task above Levenfish's possibilities in this game and Botvinnik just demonstrated his class in endgame technique. 52...Ke6 could prolong black's resistance, if not save the game.
