I forgot Gaviota calculating for 3 days or so. I founds Rb3, but then it changes its mind. Score does not move much.
This seems a position in which black has advantage, but it is blockaded enough so there is not way for black to win. Most likely a draw.
Rainbow Serpent starts playing 31... Bc6 around the same depth, depth 26. But Stockfish depths are a bit more reduced and in RS case also hollow depths
best move: Ba8-c6 time: 15:23.182 min n/s: 2.173.614 nodes: 2.005.160.912
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

How does Smyslov win?
Or is there actually a win?

For the time being, in your main line, after Bd6 I deviate with Rb7 instead of Rbb6, hoping to claim an easy victory soon.

SF plays Rg1, and says Black already has a very small advantage:

Are you serious, what depth, 40 days seem like a very short time.
I will take my time anyway, as I am not as tireless as SF.
Will answer in due course, hopefully not very long from now.
As I told you, the move might take some time, anyway, I am sure Louis will not be angry, as everyone of us has some 40 days on average to make a move, if Louis would be so kind not to disagree.
The move is of course obvious, no need for calculations: a4

I analysed this a bit, and that is one of very few positions I have encountered where middlegames and endgames with massive blocking and at least 6 passers at a time will quite frequently appear in most lines.

Stockfish says Ba3. Take as much time as you like. However, you might be competing against new and improved incarnations of SF with each move.

Just as I wanted to push a3 myself...
The most intriguing and beautiful lines happen to be after black pushes a pawn to a3.
As usual, all this will remain behind the scenes.
I will take more time on my next move, but now there is a single reasonable answer standing above the rest: Rb5
