  OBIT: 35. Qxe8?? loses to 35...Qc1+ 36. Kh2 Qf4+ 37. Kg1 (or 37. g3 Qxf2+ 38. Kh1 Nxd5 39. Qe5+ Qf6! 40. Qxd5 Qc6 and wins) Nxd5 38. Qd7+ Qf7. Instead, 35. Qe7+ looks like a quick draw. After 35...Bf7 (35...Kh6?? 36. Qf8+ Qg7 37. Qxb4) 36. Rd7, White's pressure on the 7th rank probably forces Black to take a perpetual by 36...Qc1+ 37. Kh2 Qf4+ etc. (Maybe Black can keep the game alive by 38. Kg1 Nc6.)
