Qxe4 dxe4 34. dxe5 Ke6 35. Kf1 Kxe5 36. Ke2 Kd4 37. Kd2 a6 38. h4 g6?

A slip that gives White an out. Instead 38... h5! wins.

39. f3?

39. Ke2! holds (just), e.g., 39... Kc3 40. h5! (only move) 40... g5 41. Ke3 Kxb3 42. Kxe4 Kxa4 43. f4 gxf4 44. Kxf4 b5 45. g4 b4 46. g5 hxg5+ 47. Kxg5 b3 48. h6 b2 49. h7 b1=Q 50. h8=Q, and it's a tablebase draw.

39... exf3 40. gxf3 g5

0-1


Event information: Tournament report.

Note: The ICU games archive gives 36... Kd5, which would mean the final position is equal. Stephen Brady has provided confirmation (for which thanks) that 36... Kd4 was the move played.
