I was unable to find defense after 44. a4. But 44. kc2 looks interesting. Here is my line: 43.gxh4 f4 44. kc2 kg6 45. na8 rc6 46. nb6 kh5 47. kd2 kxh4 48. ke2 kg5 49. h3 f3+ 50. ke3 kh4 51.na4 kxh3 52. nb2 kg4 53. nd1 kg5 54. nf2 ng4+ 55. nxg4 (better then kxf3) kxg4 56. rc4+ 1) 56. .. kf5 57. kxf3 a) 57. .. a5 58. ke3 ke5 59. re4+ kd5 (59. .. kf5 60. rh4 =) 60. kf4 kxc5 61. ke5 = b) 57. .. ke5 (almost the same as 57. .. a5) 2) 56. .. kg3 57. rf4 rxc5 58. rxf3+ kg4 59 rf6 = So white can draw here.

Yes, Kb4 looks ugly and was probably wrong. But the >crucial mistake in my opinion was allowing Hydra to get the passer on the >f-file, by 43.gxh4. Your alternative was Kc2, but the black king goes to h5 and >positions either at f4, or, else, the black rook gets the c-file.
