     Karjakin vs Kramnik, Dortmund 2004
    [D]8/8/8/p6k/2P5/3K2r1/6p1/6Q1 w
Here Karjakin played 63. Kd4, escorting his pawn, which complicated the win.
In his rapid post-game analysis here at ChessBase.com, GM Ramirez suggested
63. Kd2 in a long winning line that was later corrected in minor fashion by Mig.

Kasparov showed us a faster win with a better idea here, 63. Ke2! The white king
goes over to attack the g-pawn so the white queen can escape her prison on g1.
63...Kg4 64. c5 Kh3 65. Kf2 and Black is helpless. Shredder now announces
mate in 19.
