Black should have won. b7 trapping your rook on b8 is almost aleays bad, its just suprising to see a 2300 rated plaer do it. Black should have won.

What a nice move... 54...Rb6! wins. Hard to find over the board and even in analysis. My Fritz didn't even see it. Of course, I didn't pause it long on 47.b7... I wouldn't be too harsh on your opponent for missing it. Not one of our team saw it in the analysis after the game either. Good catch. Ilya, You are correct once again.
