If 53.g3 instead of gxh3, then after the simplification 53...Bf3 54.Kd4 Bxe4 55.Kxe4, it's drawn (according to both Yace and Crafty). The Black king can never approach the base of White's pawn chain on h2 without a passer running away up the board fast enough to queen simultaneously with Black's h3 pawn, so White can round up Black's a-file passer at his leisure. Although I don't know what happens for sure if the bishop isn't swapped for the knight after all. Regards, Vine Smith
