Such positions looks drawn. Theoretical books in that time appreciate rooks ending with rook and knight pawn vs. knight pawn on one flank as commonly drawn. Now endgame tablebases give us clear answer with 100% certainity.

  fredthebear: 81.Kd4 Rg3 is also winning for Black, but 81...Kf6 is much preferred, as the Black king has reached shelter from rook checks.
