The method is pretty straightforward. Interesting though!

Jun-12-22  ndg2: Probably the most difficult "elementary" endgame, ranking even before KBN vs K and KQ vs KR.

Indeed. Also probably one of the rarest, no?

  DaltriDiluvi: It would have been nice if Harikrishna had been allowed to show the mate: <75.b6 Nf8 76.b7 Ne7 77.b8Q Neg6#>.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: The entire game will repay careful study because White took a huge risk with 33.Kb3, trapping his own King in a mating net. Agadamator claims he would have gotten away with it with 37.Rd2, but Rc1 gave Black some chances.

Black allllllllmost caught the White King with 44...Kb7, but White's defense (which began with 38.Bf3!) was inspired. No doubt the silicon monsters already found many errors by both players in the ensuing play, but this remains one of the hardest fought games I've seen in a while.
