czxcjx: @ Vardeep: 45. Nc4+ Kf2. Now either Rxa3 or Nxa3 (else a2 and with the knight poised to defend the pawn, the plan Rc1 a1=Q is unstoppable (at least not satisfactorily). If Rxa3 Rxa3 Nxa3 and it's exactly the same as the game continuation. Else Nxa3 gives the line:
46. Nxa3 Ne3. Black

czxcjx: The key difference between 61.Rh4 and 61. e6! that makes the game move winning is that after 61.Rh4 Ra6+, there is no longer the threat of Rb8#. This gives rise to the line of, for example, 61.Rh4 Ra6+ 62.e6 Kg8 63. Rg4+ Kf8 64. Rxg3 Ra7 65. Rh3 Rf7+! with a stalemate draw.
