Thank you, in reviewing the game, I spotted the obvious errors, which is why I
do not rely on Engines, they are great as far as they go, but I have seen too
many positions that they don't understand.

Here is the game.

My Point Robin, was that at move 58.a5 was a Blunder, when Kc4 Draws!
At move 60.a6 was another Blunder, when again Kc4 Draws.
Fritz missed it, as did both players.
Thanks for confirming this.
