Oct-11-04  Knight13: Tough ending for black.
Aug-20-18  Howard: Turns out that there was a LOT more to this game than meets the eye. The excellent tournament book (one of my all-time favorites !) mentions that first White had a won position, but then botched it so badly that Black now should have been the winner...

...but then Black returned the favor by botching things up himself, so now White should have won--which he did (this time around).

  plang: 12 a3 was new but allowed Black's 13th move leading to equality; 13 h3 or 13 Ne5 would have been preferable. 18..Bf5 would have been a consistent with his 16..Nh6 leaving Black with a good game; instead after his 18..g5?! White quickly was able to exchange queens which squelched any kingside counterplay for Black. Again 22..Bf5 would have sufficed for equality. Bogdanovich pointed out that 28 Nf4!..Rd7 29 Rc5 would have been even stronger for White. 29 Rc5 at once would have left White with a won position; 29 Ne5? allowed Black a defense and after 31 Nxg4?! White's knight was out of play. Once Black had connected pawns on the queenside he was winning. 40..a2? was too quick spoiling his winning chances and giving White chances; better was 40..Kxf6 followed by pushing his b-pawn to support the his partner.
