With best play this is a draw according to Stockfish, the second best engine in the world.

Why not exchange the advanced pawn for another pawn, and stay a pawn ahead?

41. Rh8

   41...Rxc7 42. Rxh6+ Kg7 43. Rd6 and you start trying to promote a pawn all over again.

   41...Kg7?? 42. c8=Q Rxc8 43. Rxc8 and White wins.

P.S.--The 3rd recommended move in the Philidor is 3. d4. Then if Black plays 3...Bg4, he's in serious trouble!

This is my insight, I know it's not the best commentary (not high level) but it's what I can do, please remmember some of the ideas. Also If you want me to commentate another game feel free to ask.
