37. Nxa5+ Kd6 38. Ke2 Ke5
Ra8 or Re8 would have been better. The idea was to seize the chance of crossing the e-file and getting to the g-pawn.

 
39. Kd3+ Kd6
But then I changed my mind, fearing penetration by the white king. Indecisive play with a heavy price.

 
40. Be3 g4 41. Kd4 Ra8
Several moves too late to be effective.

 
42. Bf4+ Kd7 43. Kxd5 Rxa5
Still hoping to liquidate the pawns and to reach and hold a Cochrane position.

 
44. Rg1 Rxa2 45. b4
Black cannot stop white defending this last pawn by Bd6-c5.

 
45... Rf2 46. Rxg4 Rc2 47. Rg7+ Kc8 48. Bd6 Rh2
What can I say? :-(

 
49. Bxh2
1-0
