By move 58, it was too late for Black to save the game with anything but ...Rf4.
 But several of us did detailed analyses using Fritz, Tiger, Ruffian, etc., and
came up with completely forcing lines whereby Black at least drew with 58...Rf4
and, IIRC, also with 57...Qh1+ (note that the latter is on move 57, when it
still worked, rather than on move 58, when IIRC it was too late).
