One line is not clear to me in solution of last week:
72. Rh2! Kh4 73. Kf4 Ng8 74. Rd2 Nf6 75. Ke3
Actually here I stopped calculating cause I thought white can’t allow.
75…. Kg3
One line:
76. Rd6 Nh5
Not 76. ….. h2 77. Rxf6 h1Q 78. Rg6+ Kh2 59. Rh6+ and Rxh1 1- 0
77. Rg6+ Kh4 78. Kf2 h2 79. Kg2 Nf4+ and Nxg6 draw
Aah
79. Rg4 mate
Hmm..
