He also loses after 20.Nc5 Bxc5 21.Rxc5 g5 22.Bd2 d5! 23.Qe3 Rhf8, with the threats of 24...Rf5 and 24...Qxh2.
20...d5 21.Qe3
A) 21.Qc2 g5 22.Qxc6+ Bb7 – This is one of the variations where the move 19...Kb7-a8! tells;
B) 21.Qg2 Rxe5+ 22.Bxe5 Bb4+ 23.Kf2 Qxe5 24.Kg1 Rf8 25.Kh2 Qe3–+.
21...g5 22.Bxg5 Bb4+ 23.Kf2 Rhf8+ 24.Kg2 Rxe5 25.Qxe5 Qf3+ 26.Kh2 Qf2+
Because of the dagger blow ...Ba6-c8 next move, White resigned.

White to move
57.Rd7!
In the game, fearing the strong black passed pawn on c3, White forced a draw: 57.Rb8 Bd6 58.Rd8 Bb4 59.Rb8 draw.
57...c2
Bad was 57...Bc5 58.Rc7 Bd4 59.Rc4 Be5 60.Ke3+– – the white king helps to hold back the c-pawn.
58.Rxa7 Ba5
Other continuations also lose:
A) 58...Bd6 59.Ke2 Kb2 60.Rb7+ Kc3 61.Rb6 Bc5 62.Rc6 Kb4 63.Kd2+–;
B) 58...Bc5 59.Rc7 Bb6 60.a7 Bxc7 61.a8=Q+–.
59.Rb7 Kd2 60.Rd7+ Kc3 61.a7
61.Rd6 Kb3 62.Rc6 Bc3 63.a7 c1=Q 64.a8=Q Qh1+ 65.Ke2 Qe1+ 66.Kf3 Qe4#.
61...c1=Q
When calculating the variations at move 57, one must not only reach this position, but also see the following, quiet move, otherwise White actually loses!
62.Kg2!!
Black is defenceless against the promotion of the white pawn, which means his position is lost. If even such a creative GM can pass by such a possibility, then for other players, working on finding such quiet, prophylactic, but important moves, must be something that is of enormous importance.
