Crafty seems to like White here by half a pawn.  Why is it that I think Black is
already slightly better?  Am I misassessing the position?

I don't understand why this game was drawn here, e.g. 65. Rb7 Rd3 and it's still
interesting to see what will happen.

Crafty seems to think this position is even, but isn't Black completely busted?
