Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Wasn't 51. ...Kd3 a blunder?
Following the game I thought 51. ...d3 draws.

Kind regards

I was watching this game as it was being played live and I noticed that both Komodo and Stockfish had it at 0.00


Analysis by Komodo 9.3 64-bit:

51...d3 52.Rd7 Rb4 53.f3+ Ke3 54.Re7+ Kd2 55.Kf2 Rb2 56.Rc7 Kd1+ 57.Ke3 d2 58.Kf2 Rc2 59.b6 Kc1 60.Rxc2+ Kxc2 61.b7 d1Q 62.b8Q Qd2+ 63.Kf1 Qd1+ 64.Kg2 Qe2+ 65.Kh3 Qe6+ 66.Kh2 Qe2+ 67.Kg1 Qd1+ 68.Kh2 Qe2+
= (0.00) Depth: 39 00:02:54 809MN, tb=18516844
