May-05-12		optimal play: 46.Rfxf7! is a very nice move which immediately wins. That's where the game should have ended because 47...Nxe5? seems pointless, and no better is 47...b5 because 48.Qh7 b4 49.cxb4 axb4 50.axb4 Qa4 51.Bc5 also wins for White, nor even 47...Nxa3 because 48.Bxa3 Qxc3 49.Qxc3 Rxc3 50.Be7 wins for White as well.
