Shirov played Nc8, which pretty much loses immediately.  Black may be lost
anyway, but Rxd4 puts up a much better fight.  For example 31. ...Rxd4 32. Rxf7
Rxe4 33. Rg7+ Kf8 34. Rxh7 Kg8 35. Rag7+ Kf8 36. Rxg6 Nd5 37. Rg5 Rb5 38. Rd7
Rd4 and so on.

I think it will end up in a KRPKR ending, but I don't have the TB for it.  If
someone with TBs can search this, we can determine if white will really win.
