Very interesting position (could be the moment to write the 'secret move' for adjournment !?) White would keep the winning chances even exchanging the a2 Pawn for both b6 and a7 ones. A draw was at reach exchanging thr Bishops for the Knight and both Queen's wing Pawns etc - but a White defeat looks here quite improbable...

  Honza Cervenka: 41.Bxd5 was a bad decision based on wrong evaluation of the Bishop ending with DS Bishops. Nevertheless, white could still save the day after 42.a4! Ke4 43.Bxb6!! axb6 44.Kxb6, as here black has not time for attack on Ph3 and white keeps a draw with correct play. Black even loses after 44...Kf3 45.a5 Kg3 46.a6 Kxh3? (46...Be3+! 47.Kb7 Kf4! 48.a7 Bxa7 49.Kxa7 f6! 50.Kb7 Kg3! 51.g5 fxg5 52.f6 Kxh3 53.f7 g4 54.f8=Q g3 and despite of white's extra Queen against two black Pawns this ending is just a draw) 47.Kc7 Be3 48.g5 etc.
