was an "only move" by Giri. <53. … fxe6?> would have lost: 54. Ka5 Kc7 55. Ka6 Kb8 56. b6 Ka8 (or 56. … axb6 57. Kxb6 ) 57. Kb5 (But not 57. bxa7?=; and definitely not 57. b7?? Kb8 ) axb6 (or 57. … Kb7 58. bxa7 ) 58. Kxb6 (Taking the opposition here with 58. … Kb8 does not save Black since White’s King on the 6th rank will win the pawn on e6, after which White’s e-pawn promotes.)

Jan-16-11  DAVI DE RAFE: anish giri, savari giri giri ayene
Jan-16-11  4tmac: If white collected the "a" pawn black could have defended this way
