{ Kate played such a great game up to this point, so it was a bit heartbreaking to see her missing Black's attacking resource! }
47. Qxa6?? (47. e4 { would have stopped ... Qd7-f5 and kept her advantage. Opening up the center would have meant opening up Black's king as well! }) 47... Qf5! { Black's idea of ... Rh2xg2_ followed by ... Qf5-f3+ and ... Rh8-h1+ is now unstoppable. } 48. Kf1 Rxg2! 49. Qe2 Qf3 (49... Rgh2) (49... Rxg3) 50. Qxf3 gxf3 51. Ke1 Ba5+ 52. Kd1 Rh1+ 53. Kc2 Rxf2+ 54. Kb3 Rxc1 55.
