36.f4! It is important that White does not allow the set-up with g7-g5 and h5-h4. And the pawn trade is as usual also quite good for him. 36. ... Kf7 37.Ra7+

[ 37.fxe5 fxe5 38.Kg3 is also possible. ]
37. ... Kg6 38.fxe5 fxe5 39.Kg3 Activating the king to stop the e pawn if needed. 39. ... Rb3+
[ 39. ... h4+ should better be answered- 40.Kf3 e4+ as the e pawn is more important: 41.Kxe4 Rxg2 42.Ra3 Kg5
[ 42. ... Rg3 43.Rxg3+ hxg3 44.Kf3 ]
43.Ra5+ Kg6 44.Ra3 and Black has no progress. ]
40.Kf2 h4 Loses a pawn, but Black's defensive set up after:
[ 40. ... Kf6 41.g3 Rb4 42.Ke3 cannot be cracked neither.
[ 42.h4 is also good 42. ... Rb2+ 43.Ke3 ]
]
41.Ra4 Kh5
[ 41. ... Kg5 42.Rg4+ Kh5 43.Rxg7 ]
