:0) >

Ken, the fact is that we need to free our Rooks to win, to get them behind.

I think the Master didn't find a convincing defense after Kf6 and Rc7 was his attempt to surprise us.

After 36.g4 Kf6 we can open our Rooks with 37.f5 gxf5 38.Rf1 f4 39.Rxf4+ Kg5, now a preliminary human attempt is 40.Kg2 Nd3 41.h4+ Kxh4 42.Rh1+ and our Rooks are free, may you check? 42...Kg5 43.Rh5+ Kg6 43.Rf8 <+0.03> 43...Rb2+ 44.Kh3 Re2 45.Rhf5 Rxe3+ 46.Kh4 Kg7 47.R8f7+ Kh8 48.Kg5 <+0.98>

next 48...Rf3 49.Rxf3 exf3 50.Rxf3 <+2.xx> If this is correct the game is over before 60th move.
