I know analysing the position was not the intent of your post but as a side this position may be winable for black vs a computer. It has some elements that computers do not understand, especially the impotent white rook. A plan would be to place the black King on h5 and Knight on e4. If white wanders too far away with its king, say on the c file which it may well do to avoid a repeting position, then Nxg3 followed by Kxh4. White may well have to give up the rook for the Knight and passed g pawn and then the game would be an easy win for black.
