  keypusher: My Brandreth reprint of the tournament book gives the final move as 46.Rgg8, which wins a rook on the spot (46....Rf3+ 47.Ke4).

  sachistu: The finish here is indeed incorrect. The final move was 46.Rgg8! as pointed out by <keypusher> The tournament book by Marco and Schlechter published in Wien (Vienna) page 169 shows the correct move (Rgg8). There is even a diagram showing the g-Rook on g8 and the e-Rook on e8.

The faulty last move given here has been repeated in other online references as well as another version 46.Reg8. Fortunately, White's position is so strong any one of the 3 moves would win. However, 46.Rgg8 is clearly strongest.

I'll submit a correction slip.
