Jan-31-13  silly patzer: Black also has a win with 45...♕f1+ 46.♔a2 ♕c4+ 47.♕xc4 bxc4.

For example, some lines are:

a)48.♔b1 ♔h6 49.b4 cxb3 50.cxb3 g5 51.♔c2 g4 52.♔d2 ♔g5 53.♔e3 ♔h4 54.♔f2 ♔h3 55.♔g1 ♔g3 56.b4 ♔f4 57.a4 ♔xe4 58.♔f2 ♔d5 59.♔g3 ♔c4 60.b5 axb5 51.axb5 ♔xb5 52.♔xg4 ♔c4

b)48.b4 cxb3+ 49.♔xb3 ♔f6! 50.♔c4 ♔e6 51.♔c5 g5 52.♔c4 ♔d6 53.♔d3 ♔c5 54.♔e3 ♔c4 55.♔f3 ♔c3! 56.♔g4 ♔xc2 57.♔xg5 ♔d3 58.♔f5 ♔d4 59.a4 a5

May-06-20  nummerzwei: Liquidating into a pawn ending would have been a neat way to wrap up the game. Black also had 46...Qf7, which might actually be easier to calculate.

In the queen ending, Tukmakov misplayed the position, and on move 69 Smirin missed Lolli's draw:
