I'm not sure about the annotations. I seem to remember a "!!" instead of "!" 42. Qa4! Qd5+ <em>(42... d2 43. Qc2+) </em>43. Kf1 Qe6 44. Qa2! Qd5 <em>(44... Qc6 45. Qa1 Qd5 46. Qe1) </em>45. Qa6+ Kg7 46. Qa7+ Kg6 47. Qe3 Shipov These subtleties would be incredibly difficult to find.

42. Qa4! Qd5+ (42… d2 43. Qc2+) 43. Kf1 Qe6 44. Qa2! Qd5 (44… Qc6 45. Qa1 Qd5 46. Qe1) 45. Qa6+ Kg7 46. Qa7+ Kg6 47. Qe3 Shipov

These subtleties would be incredibly difficult to find.

But this was the bloodiest game of the match so far. Looks like we have the makings of a nail biting finish to the match. Who is going to crack first?
