Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-25-04  aw1988: If Kc2 in the final position, then Bxg5! And it becomes a drawn endgame with KP vs KR.
Mar-18-12  Karpova: Akiva's Great Escape!

According to Tartakower (quoted by Pytel), Akiva spent 45 min on 36.e4!. As will be seen in the game, in the end the black g5-pawn has to be guarded by either the King or the Rook.

Euwe's analysis showing that it's a draw even in case of Black finding the right plan (Rook on the 5th rank, King to d3):
