White needs to watch out for cheap stalemate ideas like 40...g4 41.hxg4 Kg5 42.Rc6?? Ra1 43. Kh1 Rh1 !! 44.Kxh1 stalemate

 
40... Ra5 41. Kh2 g4 42. hxg4+ Kg5
Black finds another clever way to attempt stalemate.

 
43. Kh3 Rxa6
If White takes the rook, it's stalemate. There's no reason to be tempted by that, though, because there's a mate on the board.

 
44. f4#
Mate.
