Oct-02-09  whatthefat: Shirov here achieved what nobody else could do at Linares 1994 - draw as Black against Karpov!
Oct-02-09  Aspirador: Btw, there must be some error in the score: 55.Rf6 doesn't look like it was played (makes no sense) and 57...Rb3 also looks strange, 57...gxf3 should be played of course.

Maybe move 55 should be skipped entirely and the black rook remained on d4 to the end?

Sep-07-14  Chessdreamer: The correct score for this game ->

...53.Kf2 h5 54.Ke3 g4 55.Rf6 Rd7 56.Rf5 Rxb7 57.Rxh5 Rb3+ 58.Kf2 gxf3 59.gxf3 f6 60.h4 Kc7 61.Rh6 Rb6 62.h5 Kd7 63.Rg6 Ke6 64.h6 Rb7 65.Kg3 Rb1 66.Kh2 Rb7 67.Kh3 Rb1 1/2-1/2.
