There is a kind of game logic problem: Being up the exchange and a pawn, white
is of course not immediatly happy with the draw after the sac on g3. Engines
like the passive 39.Rg1 which provides an "evaluation advantage" to the horizon,
but (seemingly) won't make real progress for white. He could as well offer the
draw.
That's why Kasim tried 39.Rb8 f5 40.Rd8 Bxg2+ 41.Kg1 Bd5 42.R8xd5 instead,
returning the exchange on d5 and creating a passed pawn. But it wasn't enough
(42...cxd5 43. Rc1 Rxb2 44. c6 Rb8 45. Kg2 f4 46. Kf3 Kg5 47. h4+ 1/2-1/2).
