75.dxe5 will lead into a drawn endgame after 75...Rxc5 76.e6 Rc2+ 77.Kf1 Ke3 (77...Rc1+ 78.Kf2 Rc2+ 79.Kf1 Rc1+) 78.Rb3+ Kf4 79.e7 Rc1+ 80.Kf2 Rc2+ 81.Kf1 Rc1+ 75...h4+! 76.Kf2 76.Kxh4 Rxb6 77.dxe5 (77.axb6 f2) 77...Rb5 78.Bf2 Rxe5 76...Ng4+ White made a serious blunder after 77.Kg1?? White choose a wrong square to retreat his king. Now it's mate in 9 (maximum) . White can offer more resistance with 77.Ke1 Ke3 (77...f2+ 78.Ke2; 77...Rxb6 78.axb6) 78.Rb3+ 77...f2+ 78.Kg2 h3+ 79.Kf1 Kf3 0–1
