  OhioChessFan: h4 instead of h3 is more typical for White in such positions.

  OhioChessFan: 18. Kf1, huh? Surely Rd1 was an obvious alternative.

  OhioChessFan: I suppose White intends to castle by hand, Kg2, Re1, Kf1, but h4 instead of h3 wouldn't have required the defending of the h Pawn.

  OhioChessFan: Not Kf1 in my last post, but having to babysit the h Pawn is costing White tempo.

Black could play 19...Rbd4.
If White played 20. Be3, then 20...h4 would give up the exchange.

...seems to me much stronger than I at first thought. I think White is definitely better.

At the moment, it could be a QRR ending.

  offramp: It quickly became a straightforward R + P ending. That looks level.
