Subject: Is it a draw?

Author: Uri Blass

The following position happen in a game of movei against fortress.

Movei main problem in that tournament is the endgame and I find that it missed
a lot of points because of blundering in the endgame

I think that Movei could save a draw in the following position.
Am I right?

Here is the position and yace's line after many hours.
Movei played 62.Kg4 that is a losing move.

I wonder if Rb7 was enough for a draw.
some analysis suggest that it is a draw but I am not sure.

Another question is if Rb7 is the only drawing move.
I think to include the position in a test suite based on movei's games and I
need to know the drawing moves(the position is simple enough to get a definite
consequence based on human analysis but I do not want to waste hours about it
and I prefer if a good player can tell me based on knowledge what are the
drawing moves.
