Chess Puzzle (10) Solution!

Below is the answer for chess puzzle (10).

GM Wang Yue (2738) - GM Leineir Dominguez (2721)
M-Tel Master, Round 1, 13.5.2009
White to move and win
In the actual game, white ( a super GM with 2700+ FIDE rated player) blunder with 64. b5?? and after 64... e1=Q 65. Rxe1 1/2-1/2 the game ended in a draw because both will queen after 65...Kxe1 66. b6 g3 67.b7 g2 68. b=Q g=Q
The winning move missed by Wang Yue is actually 64.Kd3! The reason is first white have to stop both black passed pawn from queening and then only advance his passed pawn on b- file for e.g 64...e=Q 65.Rxe1 Kxe1 66.Ke3! another important move. Now black 's king can't look after his g pawn 66...Kf1 67.Kf4 g3 68.Kxg3 and white b- pawn will queen and win the game.
