Yes, the narrator overlooked the check on d1, which is the most critical line. I paused the video after ...Qxd5. This is what I calculated: 1...Qxd5 2. Qb1+ g6 (not 2...Kh6 3. Rh8#) 3. Rc7+ Kh8 (not 3...Kg7 4. Qxg6+ Kh8 5. Qg7#) 4. Qxg6! and now: a) 4...Qh1+ Ke2, and Black has no perpetual. b) 4...Qd1+ 5. Kg2, and now: b1) 5...Qg4+ Bg3, and Black has no perpetual. b2) 5...Qd5+ (this is the critical line) 6. f3 Qd2+ 7. Kh3! And, again, Black has no more checks.

@newzild1 thanks for catching that, calculating and sharing it

@1Deejay7 You should pause the video @ 4.55. Korchnoi of course had two checks, not only one. But also Qd1+ loses for black, like in the variationes given by newzild1 @ b).
