I just loaded my 6-man tablebase, KRPP-KR, and found an even earlier error. On
move 73 Hecht could still have played for a draw. In the following analysis you
can see that the first four moves would have lead to a draw, but Hecht chose
73...Rh3+??

[D] 8/8/6k1/R5P1/P6r/4K3/8/8 b - - 0 1

Analysis by Shredder 9:

1. = (0.00): 1...Rg4
2. = (0.00): 1...Kh5
3. = (0.00): 1...Rc4
4. = (0.00): 1...Rb4
5. +- (#47): 1...Kg7
6. +- (#45): 1...Kh7
7. +- (#40): 1...Kf7
8. +- (#39): 1...Rh3+
9. +- (#32): 1...Rh2
10. +- (#32): 1...Rh1
11. +- (#32): 1...Rh5
12. +- (#32): 1...Rh7
13. +- (#32): 1...Rh8
14. +- (#10): 1...Rxa4
15. +- (#9): 1...Rh6
16. +- (#8): 1...Re4+
17. +- (#8): 1...Rd4
18. +- (#7): 1...Rf4
