Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

White may be considering a sacrificial pawn push to e6, followed by a penetration of Black's weakened dark squares with his King. For example, 43. e6 fxe6 44. fxe6 and if 45. ... Bxe6, then 46. Bxc6 is very strong, or if 45. ... Be8, 46. Ke5, and now if 46. ... Nc4+ 47. Kf6 wins or if 46. ... Nf3+ then either 47. Kf6 or Kd6 wins. (2:05)
