46.Rxa4 Rbxe5 Hart does the sensible thing and liquidates to an advantageous, if not winning ending with zero losing chances.

] 63.e7 Re8 64.Re6 Kg4 65.Re4+ Kh3 66.Kf3 g2 67.Kf2 Ra8 The game ended in a draw at this point. One possible variation is 68.e8Q Rxe8 69.Rxe8 Kh2 70.Rg8 h3 71.Rg3 g1Q+ 72.Rxg1 stalemate 1/2-1/2
Instead of 15.Rf1 after the 12..Nf2 sac much better is 15.Ne4 with an active position for black but far from winning.
