Dec-20-05  sucaba: If White had retreated the ♔ to d3 in move 55, then on 55. _ ♗f7 56. ♘d1 ♗b3 57. ♘b2 a5 58.♔c3 = everything is protected.
Jun-12-10  elohah: What are you playing 33 Bd3? here for, Bob? That really took the stuffing out of your position. Just pop it back to b1 or something.

Yeah, ...a5 is the key break in the endgame, as noted above. That's why White just seemingly dumped with 58 Ne2. It didn't matter, since ...a5 was coming, and he was misplaced for that.
