17.  Why Nab1 here?  But there is really not a great move available here anyway.

At this point, I think the game is lost for white.  All of the following moves
appear to be more or less forced , except for the hideous 38. Nb2.

38. ... Rc1 is decisive here and is an easy move today for most programs.  38.
Nb2 makes it look even stronger,  There is a forced mate-in-5 after 38. Nb2
