Daan what you are sayin is very true. There is so much more to becoming a strong chess player than just solving tactics. However, I encourage solving tactics because it teaches the important skill of evaluating positions that is normally not practiced enough. That being said, what you say definetly has its merit.

My Stockfish after 1:30h, reaching depth 38 also came with:
1.Bh6+ Kxh6 2.Qf7 Rh8 3.Ng4+ Kh5 4.Ne3 e6 5.Rde1 Rd2 6.Rf3 Bxf4 7.Rxf4 Qc7 8.Rxf6 Qxf7 9.Rxf7 Nd6 10.Re7 b5 11.Rxe6 bxa4 12.Nf1 Rd5 13.Ne3 Rd2
The easiest way from here is just repeating Nf1 and Ne5:
14.Nf1 Rd5 15.Ne3 Rd2 (every other black's move gives clear advantage for white)

In my opinion these 10+ moves "puzzles" (including waiting moves when opponent can just do whatever) are far too complexed, and probably in game just opponent did a mistake allowing white to win.

Anyway, still waiting for "winning line" from TitleKiller (will "stockfish" it move by move), maybe we are wrong. :)

The first 7 moves are 1. Bh6+ Kxh6 2. Qf7 Rh8 3. Ng4+ Kh5 4. Ne3 e6 5. Rde1 Rd2 6. Rf3 Bxf4 7. Rxf4
There are at least 4 possible drawing lines for black's 7th move:
7...Qd6 8.Rf3 Qd7 9.Rh3+ Kg5 10.Rg3+ Kh5 11.Rh3+
7...Qc7 8.Rxf6 Qxf7 9.Rxf7 Nd6 10.Re7 Kg5 11.Rxe6 Rf8 12.Nf1 Rd5 13.Ne3 Rd2
7...Qd7 8.Rxf6 Qxf7 9.Rxf7 Nd6 10.Re7 Kg5 11.Rxe6 Rf8 12.Nf1 Rd5 13.Ne3 Rd2
7...f5 8.Rf3 Qd7 9.Rh3+ Kg3 10.Rg3+ Kh5 11.Rh3+

I just found the game that TitleKiller mentioned earlier in this thread (Lelchuk – Voronova USSR 1983) For anyone interested in the original game, here it is: http://billwall.phpwebhosting.com/dvoretsky/dvoretsky71.pdf
