36... Rd2+

 
37. Kc1

 
37... Rxd5
[%clk 0:03:47] ...defending f4. Now, it should be a piece of cake. It should be.

 
38. g4
[%clk 0:00:49] White is desperate or careless, and allows the following, too tempting sequence:

 
38... Bd2+ 39. Kc2

 
39... Bxe3

 
40. Rxf5

 
40... Rxf5

 
41. gxf5

 
41... Kf6
[%clk 0:03:48] Busted. Right?

 
42. Bh3

 
42... Ke5

 
43. Kd1

 
43... f6 44. Ke2 Bf4 45. Bg4 d5 46. Bh3 d4 47. Bg4 d3+ 48. Kd1 Kd4 49. Bh3 e3
[%clk 0:04:15] Wrong. The K has to pass first, and stop the white B to act.

 
50. Bf1
[%clk 0:00:49] ...but here is where even the (ehem, ehem...) best fails for overconfidence.

 
50... e2+
[%clk 0:04:17] ?? Allowing a draw!

[%clk 0:04:30] And this theorical draw, as many moves before. But... coup de scene!

 
63. Kf1
[%clk 0:01:15] ?? Losing straight away the game! Incredible...
