  Chessical: Perhaps, by transposing Steinitz's 53rd and 54th moves, it is possible for win this endgame by sacrificing the <e> pawn? For instance:

<53.f4+> Kxe4 54.c6 Be6 55.c7 Kd5 56.Kf6 Kd6 57.Nd3 Kxc7 58.Ne5 Bb3 59.Nxf7 Bc2 60.Ne5

  Chessical: <Knight 13> Sacrificing the <e> pawn wins the endgame; pushing the <c> pawn first only draws. If Black retreats, he is in just as much trouble: <53.f4+> Ke6 54.f5+ gxf5 55.exf5+ Kd5 56.Kxh5 Ke5 57.Kg5 f6+ 58.Kg6
