Yes, 29 ... dxc6?? <SELF-BLOCKS> the c6-square that is needed for luft by the Black d5-king, leading to 30 ♗b5-c4#.

Jan-28-07  notyetagm: A good example of the king becoming too active in the endgame.

(VAR) Position after 29 ... dxc6?? 30 ♗c4#:

I see no merit in ... Rd8?
May-02-11  Everett: I think after <30..e5 31.Bc4+ Kxc6 32.Be6+ Kb7 33.Nxd6+> White is clearly winning.
