Neither player found the best moves, but Black later won his pawn back and still had powerful pressure.
Position after 56.a6 in Spanton (1901) - Boris Litfin (1978) |
Instead, BL won a piece by 56...Bc3+ 57.Ka2 Qe2+ 58.Ka3 Rxd3 59.Rxd3 Qxd3, but after 60.a7 Qe4 61.b6, he played 61...Qe7+? (61...Qc6 would have drawn) and lost following 62.Ka4 Qb7 63.Qb5+? (63.Qc4 wins easily) Kf8? (63...Kg7 seems to draw) 64.Qc5+.
At this point, in time trouble, BL picked up his queen and tried to play 64...Qa6+. The game finished 64...Qe7 65.Qxe7+ Kxe7 66.a8Q (1-0).
