Black played 73...Qg4+. Actually white has a better game right from the beginning . In the diagram below, White's far advance f pawn should decide the game. However the Iraqi blunder horribly with...
74.Kb8?? The correct move is 74.Qd7 Qf3 (74...Qg8+ 75.Qd8+ Qxd8+ 76.Kxd8 a4 77.f7 a3 78.f8Q) 75.f7 Kb5 76.Qe8 Qf5+ 77.Kb7 Qc5 78.Qd8 a4 79.f8Q and black queen first. 74...Qg8+ it's a mate in 1. How tragic! 0–1
