43. Qxa4
Ah, "collateral damage", of course. :-)

 
43... Rf6 44. Kh2
Again, is very easy to commit mistakes, here. And humiliating :-)))

 
44... Qd2
Threatening Rf2 and Qf4+ and a perpetual.

 
45. Qd7+ Qxd7 46. Rxd7
And this is the moment for a fine manouvre, I think.

 
46... Kf4
I go to free my own pawn, to keep winning chances. I don't take the h pawn, nor put my rook on a6 inmediately.

 
47. a4
Go, go, I have things to do right now.

 
47... Kxe4 48. a5 Ra6
Now white cannot defend his pawn! This was the idea. Of course, he hits the other one.

 
49. Rg7 Kf5 50. Kg3 Rxa5 51. Rf7+ Ke6
I don't want to let him tempos.

 
52. Rf2 Ra4
Better than Ra3+, of course. I don't want his king to pass.

 
53. Kh3 e4
White is preparing g4, but I take my chance to advance.

 
54. Re2 Ke5 55. Kg4
Now, my plan:

 
55... e3+ 56. Kg5
uh-oh, I have two lost pawns, isn't it?

 
56... Kd4 57. Kxg6 Kd3
...but now, the least, I recover the pawn... or much more.

 
58. Rxe3+
Very interesting! White realized that he was lost, so opted for an unbalanced endgame, sure about his two pawns.

 
58... Kxe3 59. h5 Rg4+ 60. Kf7 Rh4 61. Kg6 Kf4
I have assured a draw. I think I can't win this, really.

 
62. h6 Rxh6+
Retourning the courtesy, and setting draw game.

 
63. Kxh6 Kg3 64. Kg5 Kxg2
