Almost! But not quite. |

56... Rd6+

More precise, I think, than 56.Rf6, which would have allowed White some chances based on the rapid advance of the h-pawn. I had worked out a defence against that line, but then realised that the text move was much simpler. |

I expected 59.h5, here, but White realises that the rook now prevents all chances of his pawn breaking through. Black at last has a winning game. |

59... Kxh4 60. Be4

... and here I thought he would try 60.Bd7, but of course after 60...Rf8 61.Be8 Black's pawns run home easily. |

0-1 - White resigned. A real thriller, only this time Horatius didn't have to cast himself into the Tiber ... |
