Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-30-16  Redvii: A nice endgame.
Nov-27-18  patzer2: Black has an even game until making a minor slip early in the Rook and Pawn endgame with 27...Rf8?! (grabbing an open file with a Rook is quite often a good idea, but perhaps not in this case), allowing White an advantage after 28. c6 ⩲ (+0.41 @ 42 ply, Stockfish 9).

Instead, 27...c6 = or 27...a5! = would have held the game fully level.

Black's game goes from slightly worse to practically lost after 28...Rb8?, allowing 29. cxb7 Rxb7 30. Kf3! +- (+1.76 @ 41 ply, Stockfish 9).

Instead, the computer indicates 28...bxc6 29. Rxd6 Kd7 30. Ra6 Rf4 31. Ke3 Kc8 32. Rxa7 Kb8 33. Ra3 ⩲ to ± (+0.58 @ 39 ply, Stockfish 9) improves Black's drawing chances.
