I do not understand why do you trust fritz at depth 14 instead of using your
brain or using aome freware better engine like yace.

55.Rc1 does not look right and the simplest way to draw seems to be 55.Kxf4
that white needs to play.

56.Kxf4 may also draw but I see no logical reason to delay that move.
