59. Nc4
Nc4 - novel way of preventing the R taking!

 
59... dxc4 60. Rxe4+ Kd7 61. h6 c3
c3, another attempt!

 
62. h7
It was probably wisest to get the B to a3, so it could stop the pawn.

 
62... Rh3 63. Kg6 Kc6
Black realises that White's Rook can stop his pawn, so tries to get the king in.

 
64. Kg7 Kd5 65. Re5+ Kc4 66. Rh5
Rh5! If RxR, gxR and after c2 the B can stop the pawn queening by going to a3.

 
66... c2
c2! The only hope. It probably still loses.

 
67. Rxh3 c1=Q 68. h8=Q Qg5+
Check until you can check no more!

 
69. Kf7 Qd5+ 70. Kg6 Qe6+ 71. Kh5 Qf7+ 72. Kg5 Qd5+ 73. Qe5 Qg8+ 74. Kf4 Qf7+ 75. Ke3
Black has no checks, but...

76. Kd2 Qc2+
Qc2 !! If the King takes, it is stalemate.

 
77. Ke1 Qd2+ 78. Kf1 Qf2+ 79. Kxf2
Stalemate!
