Yace believes that 81.Qa1+ is wrong  based on one of it's lines that was posted
in the previous post

Here is again one of the lines of yace after 79.Rf2:

79...Rf5 80.Qe1+ Kd4 81.Rb2 Qf3 82.Qb4+ Kd5 83.Qb5+ Kd4 84.Rb4+ Ke3 85.Qb6+ Ke2
86.Rb2+ d2 87.Qe6+ Kf1 88.Rxd2 Rc5 89.Qa6+
  ±  (0.94)   Depth: 12   00:10:13  236574kN

yace gives here only 81...Qf3
but some analysis suggests that other lines also bad for black
for example:81...Qd7 82.Rb4+ Kc5 83.Qc3+ Kd6 84.Kh2
