  Mateo: A very interesting Rook ending. White wins a pawn but Black has a very strong passed pawn. 46.Ra6+ (?) could be the losing move. It seems too slow and it brings the Black King nearer to the passed pawn. Maybe 46.f4 could save White.
Feb-06-25  mcgee: As pointed out by Douglas Griffin on social media recently, White holds the draw with 55 Re1+! Kd2 56 Ra1 gxf4 57 Kxf4! c1=Q 58 Rxc1 Rxc1 59 g4 Rc5+ 60 Kf5 Ke3 61 g5 Rc5+ 62 Kf6 Kf4 63 g6 Rc6+ 64 Kf7 Kg5 65 g7 Rc7+ 68 Kf8 Kf6 69 g8=N+. The White king vitally shoulders the Black king. Oddly White draws with doubled pawns on the g-file but loses if the pawns are connected, as in the game. Conversely Black should have played 54...gxf4! instead of 54...c2
