40... Kc5 41. f5
41. f5 - I eschew that black pawn on h7 as I need to keep the Witch boxed in. Yes, the weak pawn on c4 can be taken but that is not a problem because I calculated that this pawn would be able to reach Glendadom on f8 just in time should Pitroque decide to force an exchange of queens.

 
41... h5+ 42. Kxh5
43. Kxh5 - black is playing for a stalemate but alas for him, it's his queen not his king that is stalemated!

 
42... c6 43. dxc6 Qxc4
43. .... Qxc4 - black finally decided to exchange queens but before I could take on c4 he hit the resign button! After allowing my pawn to capture on c6 I can now get two queens on the board to nail the BK. Black sees this and it is game over, wheew and double wheeew!
