Fortunately for Averbakh, Bondarevsky missed the winning line here which was later pointed out by Lev Abramov: 1...Qg6+!! [IThe Rook must not be allowed to go to h3. 1...Ke5? 2.Rh3! Qg6+ 3.Rg3 Qe4+ 4.Kh2 Kf4 5.Rh3 Qd5!? 6.Re3 (6.Rxh7? Kf3! -+)6...h5 7.Rh3 h4 8.Re3! Kg4 9.Rh3 Qd2 10.Kg2 Qd1 11.Re3!= The fortress holds. Black cannot make any progress.(This drawing position was discovered by Grigoriev in 1917) ] 2.Kh2 [2.Kh3 Qg1-+; 2.Kf1 Qf5-+; 2.Kh1 Qf5 3.Kg2 Qg5+ 4.Kh3 Qg1-+; 2.Kf3 Qg5 as in main line] 2...Qf5 3.Kg3 Qe5+ 4.Kf3 [4.Kg2 Qg5+ 5.Kh3 Qg1-+] 4...Qg5! 5.Rh3 [Too late, because White has lost the coordination of his pieces; Black will now gain control of the h-file] Kd4 6.Rg3 Qd5+ 7.Ke2 Qh1! and Black Wins, since the h-pawn will Queen.
1.Kd2 Kb2 2.Qg7+ Kb1 3.Qa1+! Kxa1 4.Kc1! [4.Kxc2? Bf4!-+] 4...Bd6 [4...Bf4+? 5.Kxc2 f6 6.d6 or 6.h6 =] 5.f4! Bc7 6.Kxc2! Bxf4 7.f3! f6 8.d6 [8.h6!? Bxh6 9.d6 Bf4 10.d7 Bc7 11.Kc1! Ba5 12.Kc2 =] 8...Bxd6 9.h6 Bf8 10.h7 Bg7 11.f4! [11.Kc1? f4! 12.Kc2 f5 13.Kc1 Be5 14.Kc2 Bb2! -+] 11...Bh8 12.Kc1 DRAW
This was the adjourned position and it has a very interesting history: Jansa went to bed reasonably happy he could draw this position, but to his horror he discovered a winning method for White in a dream that night. Fortunately for him, his opponent did not have similar inspiration and he could only draw the game !! Here is Jansa's winning analysis:
1...Ke8 2.Kd6 Bb4+ [2...Be1? 3.Kc6] 3.Kc6 Be1 4.Kc7 Ba5+! 5.Kc8 Be1 6.Bd8! [White has to give up his g-pawn in order to make progress; 6.Kb7? Kd7=; 6.Kc7 Ba5+] 6...Bxg3 7.a5 [with idea 8.Bb6!+-] 7...Be1! [7...h4? 8.a6 Bf2 9.Bxh4!+-] 8.a6 Bf2 9.Bh4 Be3 10.Bg3!! [This is the "dream move" ] 10...Bd4 11.Kc7 Ke7 12.Bh4+! Ke8 [12...Ke6 13.Kc6 with the idea Bd8-Bb6+-] 13.Be1! Be5+ [13...Ke7 14.Ba5 h4 15.Bb6 h3 16.a7!+-]14.Kb7 Bd4 15.Ba5 h4 16.Bb6 h3 17.a7! WINS
1.h7 Bh5! 2.Nf4! [2.h8=Q? Bxg6+ 3.Ka1 Be7!] 2...gxf4 3.h8=Q Bg6+ 4.Ka1 Be7! 5.Nf3! Bf6+ 6.Ne5+! Ke7 7.Qh4!! Bxh4 [7...Bf5 8.Qxf4+-] 8.Nxg6+ WINS.
