  Honza Cervenka: Idea with 7.h4 and 8.h5 was absolutely sound and it could lead to a quick disaster for black especially after careless 8...Be6 but white should have trade the Bishop on the ninth or tenth move. For example, 10.Bxe6 fxe6 11.Ng5 Rf6 12.Qg4 Nd4 13.Kd1 Qd7 14.f3 Nec6 15.Nh7 Qf7 (15...Rf7 16.Qxg6 +-) 16.Nxf6+ Bxf6 17.Bh6 etc. After 10...d5 black was out of the worst, though white was still better.

34.Rg1 was a blunder losing instantly without resistance. But after better 34.Re1 black still can win after pretty 34...Rf3+! 35.Kg1 Re3! 36.Rxe3 dxe3 37.e6 e2 38.Kf2 h3 39.e7 e1=Q+ 40.Kxe1 h2 41.e8=Q h1=Q+ 42.Kd2 Qh2+ 43.Kc3 Qxf4 -+. Last chance of white was 31.Re1 winning a tempo in comparison to above mentioned line: 31...Rg3+ 32.Kf2 Kg4 33.e6 Rf3+ 34.Kg1 and now 34...Re3?? is too slow. Of course, 34...Rg3+ leads to draw by mutually forced repetition of moves.
