62. Kd4
White's second missed draw. 62. Rg1 Kf2 (62...c5 63. Kd5, 64. Rxg2 , and 65. Kxe4; 62...knight moves 63. Kc5 and the king will be able to capture the pawn; 62...Kg3 63. Kd4 Kf3 64. Rxg2 Kxg2 65. Kxe4=) 63. Ra1 g1=Q (63...knight move 64. Kc5 and both pawns will be captured; 63...c5 and the rook can move along the first rank while black can do nothing, if the pawn promotes Kd5 finishes the draw; black king moves don't help) 64. Rxg1 Kxg1 65. Kd4 and 66. Kc5

 
62... c5+
Ng3 is probably an easier win; after 63...Nf1 (63. Rg1 Kf2 or 63. Rd3 accomplish nothing) black's rook can't stop the pawn.

 
63. Kc4
Ke5 is no better.

 
63... Ke2
My second missed win. 63...Nd2 and 64...Nf1 and black's rook can't stop the pawn.

 
64. Ra1 Nd2+
Hoping for 65. Kxc5?? Nb3 .

 
65. Kc3 Nf1
Could have offered a draw here.

 
66. Ra2+
Draw agreed. An interesting case of knight pawns vs. rook.
