probably seeking a draw by repetition because of time pressure.}  37... Bc5 {
Black wants to play on, although objectively White stands better in view of the
exposed position of Black's King and the weaknes of the King-side pawns.}  38.

White is clearly much better here because of the co-ordinated nature of Black's
pieces and the exposed White King.}  45... Ka6 46. Qf6 $2 { After this White's

White can probably still draw this with best play, but the time situation in a
quick-play finish is critical.}  58. Nxg4 Rf5+ 59. Ke3 $2 ( 59. Ke2 Rd2+ 60.
