After: 30.e3! Bc5 31.Kf3!, the win is as clear as a sunny sky. White's King is making a beeline to the b5-square, where the b6-pawn is captured and the a-pawn is escorted to coronation. -- Seirawan} Bc5 31.h3 { This is a real groaner. I think the text throws away most of the winning chances that were left. I was still wildly optimistic about White's chances after 31.Kf3! One point is to trick the computer into playing an innocuous move like: 31...Kg6? After which White plays: 32.e3!, and he is back in business as his King goes to the b5-square. -- Seirawan} f6 32.f3 Kg6 33.e4 h5 34.g4 hxg4 35.hxg4 fxe4 36.fxe4 Kg5 37.Kf3 Kg6 38.Ke2 Kg5 39.Kd3 Bg1 40.Kc4 Bf2 41.Kb5 Kxg4 42.Nxf6+ Kf3 43.Kc6 Bh4 44.Nd7 Kxe4 45.Kxb6 Bf2+ 46.Kc6 Be1 47.Nxe5 1/2-1/2
