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.

Active prophylaxis. Black defends his king against the threat of e4-e5, and wins an important tempo by the attack against d4.
19.h3 Nc6 20.Qxb5
On the passive 20.Rd1, Black continues to play on the dark squares with the move 20...Kf8! – the king goes to a safer square and defends the Re8, which is necessary for the threat of ...Nc6-b4.
20...Rb8!
The dark squares are creaking, and the queen faces a discovered attack.
21.e5 dxe5 22.dxe5 Qxf3!
This nice exchanging operation ensures Black a decisive advantage in the endgame.

Black to move
After this counterblow, the white pawns fall one after another.
Of course, the simple retreat 35...Bh6 was also possible, but in this case, White gets a tempo to activate his pieces, and after 36.Nb4 Rc3 37.Ra1 Rxc4 38.Nc6, his rook comes to a7, gaining some chances of saving the game.
36.Nb4
If 36.hxg5 Rxc2, White loses not only the c4-pawn, but also that on g5.
36...Rxc4 37.Nc6 Bc1 38.Kf1 Kf6 39.Rd3 Rc5 40.Na7 e4 41.Rd1 Bh6 42.Ke1 Kf5 0-1
