  aw1988: Considering Bc3+ mates, yes.
Oct-22-05  avidfan: Better to have the king on the run by 42.Rb1 Qxd3 43.Qxb7+ Kd8 44.Qa8+ Ke7 45.Rh7+ Rg7 46.Rb7+ Kd6 47.Rh6+ Kc5 48.Qa5+ Kc4 49.Rb4+ Kc3 50.Rxc6+ Kd2 51.Rd4+ pinning and winning the queen by discovered check!

If (51.Re4+ Bc3 52.Rxc3 Qxc3 53.Qxc3+ Kxc3 54.Rxe8 ) with a rook and 3 pawns vs rook and pawn endgame.

Also 44.Kg2-f1 is safer than the text.

40...Qxd6! nicely exploits the weak bank rank.

  sneaky pete: After 42.Rb1 Bxh2+ 43.Kh1 Qc7 black should win (44.Nc5 Rb4).
