56. Kf3 wins the piece back, but Black replies 56...Nc5 (preventing Bb3/Bc3) and so Black's king will break into the queenside.

It might go 56. Kf3 Nc5 57. Kxg3 g5. Black will soon win the c-pawn and probably also the a-pawn. I'm not sure if it's a definite win for Black, but I wouldn't call it even.
