I do not understand why black does not play 82... Nb8 at once. In a game it
might be practical to repeat moves in ordet to gain some time, but in analysis
there is no need for it.

86. h5 looks like a better defence to me (in order to keep control of the e5
square), but I am not a strong chess player and might be missing something
obvious.
