40... Re8?
Black should have complicated the game with 40... Rc3! and now:
A) 41. Bxe6 41... Rg3+ 42. Kh1 Rh3+ 43. Kg1 Rg3+ 44. Kf1 fxe6 45. Rb7+ Kf8 46.Rc1 Bh3+ 47. Ke2 Bg4+ 48. Kf1 Bh3+ perpetual check.
B) 41. Re2 Nxg5 42. Bxe6 Nh3+ 43. Kh2 fxe6 44. a5 Nxf4 = with counterplay.
41. Rb7 Rc3 42. Rxf7+ Kh8 43. Bxe4 Bxe4 44.Nd5 Rg3+ 45. Kh2 Kg8 46. Kxg3 Kxf7 47. Nf6 1-0

28... b6??
Giving victory to the opponent. Black could have played:
28... Bxh4 29. b4 Na4 30. Bd2 Rc7 31. Rc1 Kd8 32. Rxc7 Kxc7 33.Bc4 b5 34. axb6+ Kxb6 35. Bf7 Kc7 36. Bxg6 Nb6+/= A draw would be the most likely result.
29. axb6 Rb8 30. Be3 Rxb6 31.Rc1 1-0

Lutz looking for a counterplay by attacking the whites pawns on the Kingside but black has no time for this action. Last chance was 33...f4!
