That was a fascinating game! I believe that White could win with 51. exd4, but
even after 51. Rb2, it takes many moves before it becomes clear just how strong
Black's attack is. Really quite an amazing long-long-term attack by Junior 7.
Here is the game in a perhaps more readable format, with a few comments added by
me with the help of Gambit Tiger 2:
[Tournament: 120'/40+0'/0+60'/Athlon 500]

(better is 51. exd4 Qxf2+ 52. Kc3 and White should escape to win (I looked
deeply into Qf3+, Qe3+, and Qe1+, and none gives Black anything lasting).)
