43...Ne5? [Nabaty overestimated his attacking chances and played for a win in a worse position. He should have kept the c-pawn blocked and tried to equality with the following continuation:]

[43...Qxg4! 44.Nd6 Ne7 45.Ne3 Qf3+ 46.Kg1 Qe2 47.Rc4 Nc6 48.Rxe4 Qb2 49.Kg2 Qxb3 50.Rf4 Ne5 51.Ne8+ Kg8 52.Re4 Nc6Β²]

44.c6! Nd3 45.Rxd3! [A well-calculated exchange sacrifice that leads to promote the c-pawn by force.]
