  plang: 11..e6 had been played in a little known 2001 game; 11..Bb7 was new. 15..c5 looks like an improvement. After 20 Qc2 threatening 21 Bxf6..Bxf6 22 Rxe6 White had a serious initiative. After 20..Rde8? 21 Bg3 Black was in dire straits; 20..Rfe8 would have been better. Black needed to avoid 21..Rd8 22 Rxe6!..fxe 23 Bxe6+..Kh7 24 Nh4..c5 25 Qxg6+..Kh8 26 Nf5. 26 Qd1? was an error; instead 26 Bxd5..exd 27 Bxd6 would have been winning for White. Dvoretsky considered 53..Ra2+? to be the decisive mistake recommending 53..f5 54 Kc2..f4 55 Kb2..Ra5 56 Kb3..fxg 57 fxg..Kf5 58 Kb4..Ra1 59 Kb5..Kg4 (or 59..Rb1+) with a draw. A useful technique to know is 60..Ra1 61 Kc7..Kf5 62 Rb5+..Kg4 63 Kb6..Rxa7 64 Rg5+ and wins.
