White obligingly allows me to get my K into position.

50. Kg6 f5 51. Kh5 Kf3 52. Kg6 f4 53. Kf6

Now i am faced with the perennial problem that K R & pawn endgames are quite often a draw. So how to exchange Rs without spoiling my plans

The game losing move as white again obliges by gifting me the R exchange

White resigned here after offering a draw??? Play would continue

62. Kb5 Kxb2 63. Kxa5

Alternative variation: 63. Kc4 [white tries to protect the b-pawn but Kc2 restablishes opposition and he has to move away.] Kc2 64. Kb5 Kxb3
