There are so many complaints of players that they lost a game where the opponent had only one minor piece left. Ok, the defeat is correct, because a mate is possible. But there is a classical example where you can force it. Ever had that on the board?
Sure, that is rather „common“.
By the way, 57. ... Kf7 is a blunder because your Knight is on the wrong circuit resp. tempo missing/too much. 57. ... Kf6!! with a forced mate.
Edit: yeah, move 56.

Sorry, Sarg0n - you mean 56 ... Kf7
Yeah your comment is correct. I blundered before and couldn't hope for more than a draw. I never had this mate before - neither with opponent's help neither forced.

Nice helpmate.
Nice ending!
There is no forced checkmate even after 56...Kf6
Yes there is, @Craigh . Watch the computer analysis of that game.
Ok thanks, I was in the wrong line. Nice one!
It is always the last blunder that counts ;-)
Its not forced. Btw h7 was the blunder. Without this move its impossible to mate
