According to Kasparov this is the winning line: 64... Qb4 65. Bf3 Qc5 66. Be4 Qb4 67. f3 Qd2+ 68. Kh3 Qh6 (68... Qb4 69. Bxg6 Nxg6 70. Qxg6 Qxh4+ 71. Kg2) 69. f4 Qg7 70. Qxg7+ Kxg7 71. Bc6+- and we can agree with him: 71... Kf7 72. Kg2 Ke7 73. Kf3 Nh7 (73... Kd8 74. Ke4 Kc7 75. Be8 Kd8 76. Ba4 Kc7 77. Kd4) 74. Ke4 Nf8 75. Kd4 Kd8 (75... Nh7 76. Kc5 Nf8 77. Bb5 Nh7 78. Kc6 Nf8 79. Bd3) 76. Kc5 Kc7 77. Be4 etc.
