Rxd6 allows White to escape to eternal check in the last moment . I didn't see that when I followed the game . I don't agree that Qb8 + would have helped much as Black has Nf8 ; please provide a saving line . After 51. Qxd6 nothing seems to help saving the game although ptobably Kh1 or Nf4 would have put up a somehow longer resistance . Still with possible threats like a3 or Ng3,f5 in the initial position I think it is a very good idea to play ...Ne6 and my admiration remains :-)
