It's not surprising that with White's pieces offside, Black gained some counterplay, but White was able to regroup in order to gain the full point:
22.Ra3! Ndf6 23.Rea1 Qd7 24.R1a2 Rfc8 25.Qc1 Bf8 26.Qa1 Qe8 27.Nf1! Be7 28.N1d2
28.N3d2!? Kg7 29.f3+/-
28... Kg7 29.Nb1! +/-

βWhenever Black succeeds in assuming the initiative and maintaining it to a successful conclusion, the sporting spirit of the chess lover feels gratified, because it shows that the resources of the game are far from being exhausted.β

πΉYuri Averbakh
πΉSoviet and Russian chess Grandmaster
πΉChess Author
π° Yuri Lvovich Averbakh is a Soviet and Russian chess player and author. As of 2018, he is the oldest living chess grandmaster. He was born in Kaluga, Russia. He was chairman of the USSR Chess Federation from 1973 to 1978.
πFull name: Yuri Lvovich Averbakh
πCountry: Russia
πBorn: February 8, 1922 (age 96)
πKaluga, Russian SFSR
πTitle: Grandmaster
πFIDE rating: 2445 (August 2018)
πPeak rating: 2550 (July 1971)
π°Averbakh was born in Russia in 1922. As a boy he saw Emanuel Lasker play, and he went on to be an eyewitness to almost the entire rise and fall of the famed Soviet School of Chess. Although overshadowed by some of his better-known contemporaries he was a talented player who won the formidable USSR Championship in 1954 and tied for first place with Mark Taimanov and Boris Spassky two years later (Taimanov won the playoff). A noted chess journalist, author and arbiter, heβs now focussed on the history of chess and other board games, where the range of his erudition is dazzling.
π°Averbakh is also a major endgame study theorist. He has published more than 100 studies, many of which have made notable contributions to endgame theory. In 1956 he was given by FIDE the title of International Judge of Chess Compositions and in 1969 he became an International Arbiter.
π°Averbakh edited the Soviet chess periodicals Shakhmaty v SSSR and Shakhmatny Bulletin. From 1956 to 1962 he edited (with Vitaly Chekhover and others) a four-volume anthology on the endgame, Shakhmatnye okonchaniya (revised in 1980-84 and translated as Comprehensive Chess Endings, five volumes).
