Diagram Step number one, exchange rooks

34.Nd3 Rb1 35.Rb2 Rxb2+ 36.Nxb2
White's advantage is clear. Black has three pawn islands, and the Bb7 is stuck defending the fixed d5-pawn.

36...Bc6 37.Nd3
Having identified the d5-weakness, play Nb4 and attack it.

37...g5 38.hxg5 fxg5 39.Nb4 axb3 40.axb3 Bb7
Three squares away from the Nb4. Black appears lost, but Reshevsjy finds counterplay with an outside passed pawn.

41.g4 Kg7 42.Ke2
Headed to d4 to provide the second attack upon the d5-pawn.

42...Kg6 43.Kd3 h5 44.gxh5+
forced, to prevent h4

44...Kxh5
The rest is all an intricate calculation.

45.Kd4
White will win the d5-pawn, but Black's king will capture the white f3-pawn and the g-pawn will rush forward

45...Kh4 46.Nxd5 Kg3 47.f4 g4
Black's only hope [47...gxf4 48.exf4 Bxd5 49.Kxd5 Kxf4 50.Kc5 Ke5 51.Kxb5 Kd6 52.Kb6+- ]
