Mar-06-11  ozmikey: Is the score correct here? If so, what on earth is wrong with 32. fxe5?
Mar-06-11  companys: There is nothing wrong about it. They must have been in time trouble...
Mar-06-11  BobCrisp: 31...e5 is actually a clever way for Black to swap Queens, correctly figuring that the opposite bishop ending with a pawn minus is drawn.

32.fxe5 Bc5! 33.Qxb6 Bxb6 34.Kf3 f6!

  John Saunders: There is a mistake in the score here, probably stemming from Bob Wade's tournament book (which gives the score as shown, only in descriptive notation). The mistake occurs on Black's move 29.

I found the (almost) correct ending to the game in Informator 4, thus: 29...♕d6 30.♔g2 ♔f8 31.d5 e5 32.♕c2 exf4 33.gxf4 ½-½. Note that Informator also has an error (giving the illegal 32.♗c2 instead of 32.♕c2) but after the correction this finish to the game makes perfect sense.
