Black to play. A draw was agreed but there is an instructive Black win pointed out by Gerardus C van Perlo in his 'Endgame Tactics'.

63...Kd3 or Ke3. 64.Rb3+ forcing the Black King back to d4 if the BK goes to the 2nd Rank Then Rb2 and Rxc2 ½-½.

Jun-30-18  Howard: Presumably, the tablebases back all this up.
Jul-01-18  Sally Simpson: Hi Howard,

I would think so, I assume van Perlo computer checked his variations.

I played over the variations they seem sound. The only trouble might be me copying text to here but I did double check it.

van Perlo did say it was difficult to see the win from the final agreed drawn position.

Jul-02-18  Retireborn: I think this may be one of several similar (R v Ps) endgames looked at in a special article in a very early (1986?) issue of NiC, but cannot recall what the verdict was then.
Nov-05-19  Straclonoor: <Presumably, the tablebases back all this up.> Yes, of course.
