Shay,
disappointing for you - lucky for us.

However, to be fair - Junior could have played more interestingly instead of
72.Rxb5 the following (which is far away to calculate, and may not be correct):

72.Ra8! b4 73.Rg8 Kc6 74.Rxg7 Kxb6 75.Rb1 (to avoid check on c3) Rc3+ 76.Kf2 b3
77.Rh7 Kc6 78.Rxh6 b2 79.Rxf6 Rc1 80.Rxb2 Nd3+ 81.Kg2 Nxb2 82.h6! Rc2+ 83.Kg3
Rc1 84.h7 Rh1 85.Rf7 Nc4 86.g5 e4 87.Re7 Ne5 (e3 looses) 88.Kf2 Rh5 89.Ke3 with
good practical chances to win.
