After that forced introduction the play is simple.The position will be " +

** Michel Caillaud comments:
" +
"The principle of bringing a black Pawn on f7 looks OK but it seems (?) that the finish can be quicker :
" +
"36.Dd6xc5(c7) c6-c5 37.Dc5xd6(d7) e7xFd6(Fc1) 38.Fe5-d6 c7-c6 39.Dc8xc5(c7) c6-c5 40.Fc1-d2 c7-c6 41.Fg7xe5(e7) f6xFe5(Fc1)..." +
"
with one less return on c1 than in the line given by author ;" +

Dragan Petrovic (author) agrees

Remarkably, this retro-play cannot be preceded by an alternative uncapture on a7 (prior to uncapture of a white Pawn) because there is no way to void the rebirth of the white Pawn (from b6) into a diagram devoid of such a Pawn (or any promotion of it). In other words, for any White unit Z, which came from square zn, one cannot retract -1.Bb8xZa7[+Bb8]+, because this necessitates the further retraction -1…ZznxBa7[+Pzn] -2.Bb8xPa7[+Bb8]+ -2…Pb6xBa7 etc, and the further retraction would leave a white Pawn (or its promotion) on square zn of the diagram.";
