Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-22-08  shr0pshire: Apart from this score obviously being wrong, white has mate in one on the last move, so it shouldn't be a draw.

This is a great endgame. Too bad the pgn seems to be inaccurate.

Feb-06-15  heuristic: <score wrong>
this is an example of "chess blindness" for both!

WHT missed mate on 60. & 61.
BLK missed the mate and moved into it with 60....

the focus was on WHTs pawn material vs BLKs promotion possibility.

22.Nc5!

57.Kf6?!
57.Rh7 Rb2 58.Rxh3 Rxb4 59.Re3 M29 (nalimov)

58.Ke6?!
58.Rh7 or 58.f5

Instead of 59.Kd6 How about 59. Kf6 Re4 60.Kf5 h2 61.Rh7 Rxb4 draw agreed.

Very plausible and explains Black allowing a mate and White missing it. Need another to agree before submitting a slip.
