Qxf3 Rxe4 White is down a Pawn; however, this would be the lesser evil. 34. ... Qh5+ 35. g4 Qh3+ 36. Bg3 h5!? Here 36. ... f5! looks even stronger. 37. Ke3? Pellettier’s last chance was the (unpleasant) Pawn-down ending by 37. gxh5 Qxh5+ 38. Kf2 Qxe2+ 39. Kxe2 Rxe4+ and so on. Now Black wins by force: 37. ... Rd8! 38. Qb5 Bh6+ 39. g5 Qg2! 0 : 1. For after 40. gxh6 Qd2+ 41. Kf3 Rd3+ Black wins everything.
