51 ♕xg5!! ♔xf8 (or 51...fxg6 52 ♕f6+ ♔h6 53 ♕h4+ ♔g7 54 ♕h8 mate.) 52 g7+ ♔g8 53 ♕h6! How a queen and a pawn on the seventh rank can co-operate under ideal conditions is a good tactical idea to remember.

50 ♕xg5 ♕e6

If 50...♖xe2 then 51 h6 f6 52 hxg7 ♕xg7 53 ♕h5+ and White wins the queen.

51 ♘f4 ♕f6

52 ♘g6!!

It’s incredibly aesthetic that the “frog” jumps from d3 to f4 to g6 and decides the game, exploiting the fact that the f7-pawn is pinned by the f8-rook. An instructive example showing that a knight, placed on the third rank, can attack the king pretty quickly. There is no defence to the mate on h8 other than by giving up too much material.
