<58....Rg5??> Of course black should keep it's pawn to hold the draw - 58....Ra5!! Now 7-pieces ending won for white.

<59.Kxa3! (right. it's only move to win) Kf4 60.h3 (obviously only move to win again) Rb5 61.Ka4 Rb1 62.Rh5 Rb2 63.g5 Kf5 64.h4 Kg6 65.Rh6+ Kg7 66.Ka5 Rb1 67.h5 Rf1 68.Rg6+ Kf7 69.Kb4??> Looks very logical - move forward king till it's cut off, really - mistake.

Wins only 69.Rb6!! Ra1+ 70.Kb4 Rb1+ 71.Kc5 Rh1 72.g6+ Kg8 73.Rb8+! (only move to win) Kg7 74.Rb7+! (only move to win again) Kg8 75.Rh7 Rd1 76.Kc6 Rd2 77.Rf7 Rh2 78.Rf5 Kg7 79.Kd6 Rd2+ 80.Ke6 Re2+ 81.Re5 Rg2 82.Rd5 Kh6 83.Rf5 Rg4 84.Rf2 Rg5 85.Kf6 Rd5 86.Re2 Rd3 87.Rg2 Rf3+ 88.Ke7 Re3+ 89.Kf7 Rf3+ 90.Kg8 Ra3 91.g7 Ra8+ 92.Kf7 Ra7+ 93.Kf6 Ra6+ 94.Kf5 Ra5+ 95.Ke4 Ra4+ 96.Kd5 Ra5+ 97.Kc6 Ra8 98.g8Q Rxg8 99.Rxg8 Kxh5 100.Kd5 Kh6 101.Ke5 Kh5 102.Kf5 Kh4 103.Rg7 Kh3 104.Kf4 Kh2 105.Kf3 Kh1 106.Kf2 Kh2 107.Rh7#
