I do not think that this is correct 42.Be4 seems to win for white here. Fruit suggested 42.Kf2 in it's line and only later 42.Be4 but I prefer 42.Be4 immediatly so I do not need to check if 42...e4 saves black The idea is to put the white king at g6 and play a6 If the black king saves g7 and is in the f file white can play later d6 and Bc6+ If the black king goes for the a pawn then white may capture g7 h6 and promote the h pawn.
