30. Rc4 Qxc4+ 31. Qxc4 Rc8 32. Qxc8+ Kxc8
I decided to keep the LSB centralized

 
33. Rd6 Bg5+ 34. Kd1 Kc7 35. Rg6 Bd5 36. Ke1 e3 37. fxe3 Bxg2
Playing 37. ...Bxe3 is bad because white will have an easier time defending connected pawns.

 
38. Kf2 Bc6 39. Re6 Bd7 40. Re4 a5
discouraging b2-b4 and limiting the range of the rook

 
41. b3 Kb6 42. Kg3 Bf5 43. Re8 Bc2 44. Rc8 Bd1 45. Rb8+ Ka7 46. Rb5 Bd8
Black needs the bishops so the greed 46. ...Bxh5? draws after 47.Rxg5! hxg5 48. h6 = or after 47. Rxa5+ Kb6 48. Re8=

47. Kf2 Ka6 48. Rb8 Bb6
! the only way to win. It blocks the rook from defending b3 and creates a advanced h-pawn for black

 
49. Rh8 Bxb3 50. Rxh6 a4
Wins! because black can block the advance of the h-pawn, force the exchange of the rook for a bishop and then queen his own pawn.

51. Rh8 a3 52. Ra8+ Ba7 53. Rc8 a2 54. Rc1 Bb8
Moving the bishop to e5 where it blocks the e pawn, supports the a pawn and stop the h-pawn.

 
55. h6 Be5
White can not stop the bleeding now

 
56. h7 Bc2 57. Rxc2 a1=Q
