Subject: a correspondence player in 1/2 world final is worse than computers

This position is from the game Albert levin-avi keter(1/2 final of world
correspondence championship)
2rq2k1/4r3/3b3p/3P1pp1/1pN5/1B1Q1P1b/1P5P/R2R3K w - - 0 1

Avi keter won the first place in the competition.
It is legal to use computers.

I believe that Albert levin did not use a computer seriously because computer
programs can avoid 38.Nxd6 and find 38.Rg1 if you give them a long time(many
hours).

albert levin played 38.Nxd6? and if Qxd6 then 39.Ra6?
and this was a mistake
Avi keter says that 38.Nxd6 is missing a win when 39.Ra6 is missing the draw.
39.Re1,39.f4,39.Rg1 are better than 39.Ra6.

albert levin lost after 39...Rce8 40.Rg1? Bg2+ 41.Rxg2 Re1+ 42.Rg1 Qc5 43.d6+
Kg7 44.Rf1 Qf2

What is the result of programs(how much time do they need to avoid 38.Nxd6 and
to avoid 39.Ra6)
