Jul-09-21  Straclonoor: Keres won pawn and had advantage in the ending. <38.Kg3?> was passive move. 38.Ke4! keeps advantage and chances to win.

  Retireborn: <Straclonoor> Keres in Informator gives a different score which starts 36...Rd2+ 37.Kf3 h5 38.Bf8 Ne6 39.Bb4 Rd4, and doesn't give him the chance to play Ke4.

Probably some research is needed to uncover the truth of the matter.

Jul-09-21  Olavi: No need to check, 38.Ke4 would be too obvious to miss, 38.Kg3 would be absurd.
