  woldsmandriffield: Geller let this one get away. 80 Kd4? allowing 80..c3 was careless.

White could win with 80 Rc7! and now:

a) 80..g4 81 Kd4 c3 (or 81..g3 82 Ke5 g2 83 Kf6 Kd8 84 Rg7) 82 Ke5 c2 83 Kf6 Kd8 84 Rc3 g3 85 e7+ Kd7 86 Rc8!

b) 80..Kd8 81 e7+ Ke8 82 Kd4 c3 83 Ke5! c2 84 Kf6 Ba4 85 Rc8+

c) 80..Kf8 81 Kd2 c3 82 Ke5 c2 83 Kf6 Ba4 84 e7+ Kg8 85 Rxc2
