Ironically, 44.Ra7? looks like the decisive mistake (is the rook doing anything
in particular there?)

I prefer 44.Rc7, but programs generally like 44.Rf6.

The interesting thing is that everything I've tried (Aristarch, Yace, Ruffian)
thinks the position after move 43 is ~ +3, then comes up with unclear lines.

Certainly the position is advantageous for White but dangerous because of the
possibility of Black piling in along the c-file; the White knight looks good but
is restricted in its movement ...
