Actually, it turns out that I was mis-remembering. Adjournment SHOULD have
produced a win for black in the following position, but it did not.

Karpov - Miklayev

4bq1k\8\3p1p2\1p1PnN1p\1Pp1PQ1P\2P5\r7\3B1RK1

White adjourned with 43. Ng3

The game continued 43...Qg7 44 Qxf6 Qxf6 45 Rxf6 Ra1 46 Rf1 Rc1 47 Ne2 with the
knight heading towards the f5 square (Nd4, Nf5) and white eventually won the
game.

Instead black could have played 43...Ra3

if 44 Qd2 Qg7

if 44 Qxf6 Qxf6 45 Rxf6 Bd7

The continuation is rather complex, but it is supposedly forcing and calculated
by Geller and Furman. As it turns out, white has to force a draw by move 55,
otherwise, he loses.
