Karjakin, who was extremely short of time, did not notice that there was an even better version of his idea--one that would have won on the spot. He could have played
44...Rd3!!
Nakamura-Karjakin after 42...Rd3!! (analysis diagram)
The point is to cover b3 so that White can't recapture with his king after 45...b3+. If 45.Kxd3 b3! queens a pawn. White's rook and knight are so out of position, in fact, that they are helpless to stop 45...b3 regardless of White's next move.
if the great playear as Missed Winning Opportunity the rest of the mortal players has it :)
