     Dvoretsky gives the game continuation ==>
    1...Qxb2! 2 Qf6 Qxc3? 3. Qg7+ Bxg7 Re8+ 1-0.
     However,the position turns out to be incredibly complex.
    He devotes three pages of analysis to describe his conclusions about this
     position. After 1...Qxb2! 2. Qf6 Black has 2...Qc1!! 3. Qxe5 Qxh6 !
     with equal chances. So he tries the alternative 2. Kg2 but concludes
     2...f5! is good. So he tries 2. Qe3 until one of his
     students finds 2...Qa3!! Finally, he concludes that the
     improvement of 2. g4!! f5 3. c4! is the correct solution.
     But another defense, found later, of 3...Rd7! still gives
     Black a draw. Current assessment of the position: Who knows!?
