And by the way, 58...Rf4 DEFINITELY is the move in this position. 58...f2+
almost certainly lost the game. The question is whether Rf4 leads to a win, and
I let CM think on this for almost 2 1/2 hours, and the eval was only about 0.3
for Black. I'm pretty sure that CM would have been able to hold by trading a
rook back for one of the pawns.
