I fear 35.a5 doesn't deserve many exclamation marks. Of course
it is a very interesting move, and arguably you can see it
as best move in the position, but it is simply
leading to a simplistic draw, from objective viewpoint seen.
The real big error from Loek is 43..Kc6?? this allows white to play Bd4!
Loek would never miss that in a tournament game. Only in blitz such
an error happens, of course against karpov!
Karpov didn't miss 44.Bd4! of course. Peanut for computer also.
Objectively i feel both 35.a5 and the computer preferred 35.axb5 is
leading to a draw.
Nevertheless you can ARGUE about 35.a5 being objectively a draw,
because black has many GREAT tries which Loek of course missed and
which are NOT so clear.
example: 35.a5 b4 36.e5 b3!? if i try for example 37.e6,bd6 38.Ke2 then
already i feel shit coming for white when playing 38..Be7!?
With some bad luck 35.a5 is losing for white. If not then in this
line black obviously has *at least* a draw. Not white.
