42. Rf8.

42... Kf5 43. Rxh7??

43. Rf8+ Kxe5 44. Rxd5+! exd5 45. Re8+=.

43... Kxe5 44. Kc6 Rc3+??

Wrong rook! After 44... Rc2+ 45. Kd7 Rb7+, Black wins a rook (and mates quickly) .

Instead, after 45. Kb7 Rb2+ 46. Ka8 Ra2+ 47. Ra7 Rxa7+ 48. Kxa7, Black is still winning, but it will take much longer.

0-1
