Alinasab finds the only way to obtain counterplay.

White tries to launch an attack on the opponent king, however he should have played for a draw with the following continuation:

A blunder.
Black should first have prevented White from launching 'the bridge maneuver'.
61...Rb1! 62.Kd6 Kf6 63.Kc7+ Kf5 64.b7 Rxb7+ 65.Kxb7 g5 =
Black would get a draw by shouldering the White king away from the action. A correct technique in such endgame positions.
62.b7 Rc1+ 63.Kb6 Rb1+ 64.Kc7 1-0
For example, after 64...g4 65.b8=Q Rxb8 66.Kxb8 White easily wins due to the cutting off the black king along the sixth rank.

A fatal blunder. Grabbing a poisoned pawn allows the opponent to finish the game by a queen-bishop battery on the b8-h8 diagonal.
36.Nc5! =
36...h5! 37.Bxc7
37.Qxh5 Qf4!
A double attack, threatening both the rook on c1 and mate on h2.
