I saw only the position after move 55  of white and I disagree that drawing will
be a miracle.

I think that there is a practical chance for a draw by perpetual check in queen
endgames and in comp-comp games it is possible also to win if Sos is going to
sacrifice pawns to avoid perpetual check and get an unclear KQP vs KQP position.
