82...b4!!! wins :!: a4? just draws.

However the double rook ending that follows is extremely difficult for black to win but it is still possible imo. 8-)

No, it doesn't since, as was pointed out, after 83.Kd1!!! the game would have ended with a draw.

Yes you are correct. :oops: I have no sound so I couldn't hear what was said on the video and I should have said after 83. axb4 axb4 instead. 8-)

84. Ra5?? - Nxb4 is much better but I still believe that black can win this eventually.
