34. Kd4
And just when it looks like a draw, he goes badly wrong. His king is needed on the king-side to protect his pawns and counter attack my pawns. There is no way through for his king on the queen-side and he has to make an embarrassing retreat, but by then the position is lost. Computer analysis gives 34. Kf4 Kf6 35. a5 c5 36. dxc6 e.p. bxc6 37. c5 dxc5 38. c4 a6 39. h6 Ke6 40. Ke3 Ke5 41. g3 Ke6 42. Kf3 Ke7 43. Ke3 Kf7 44. Kf3 as best.

his king comes up

 
36... h6
I block his pawn. Because I can play a7-a6-a5 I can make his king move first, and then I can come in and either win the pawns on the king-side or the queen-side, depending which way he turns. The position is lost.

 
37. g3
So he wastes a move.

 
37... a6
and so do I
