📘 21.Nd2
Pourramezanali has missed the strongest continuation: 21.Na×c5!! B×c5 22.Rh6+- (with the idea of Rdh1) White is completely winning.

📘 62.Rd1??
In the time trouble, Amirreza made a fatal blunder.
He should have played 62.Rc8 Nc5+ 63.R×c5 K×c5 64.g6 +- and White would be completely winning.
