  fredthebear: White looks in good shape after 45.b7 but Alekhine finds 45...Rc4 threatening the back rank defender and offering a sacrifice to promote his own pawn.

Perhaps White gave up his queen for rook a bit too easily thinking his connected passers were a sure thing.

I wondered for a moment too, but nope. Stockfish says its equal. Nothing better than Qxf4

63/68 0.00
43.Qxf4 Rxf4 44.b6 Rb4 45.b7 Bxb7 46.axb7 Rxb7 47.Kf2 Rb2 48.Re1 Kxh6 49.Rxe2 Rxe2+ 50.Kxe2

and from here on it's a textbook draw.
