I was playing as white against the 2000+ rated computer. The computer stalled out at this move and was perpetually thinking- at move 36 (for over 30 minutes). Does white have a won game? PLEASE help me analyze the variations of the end game- and possibly the entire game to help me understand this game fully.

Sorry, I just never posted a game before, and I was testing how to do it using your game

But, it does look like black wins after 36...Rc8

after blacks rc8 .....rb1 looks ok but entire position seems to favour black with passed pawn on g6

the computer must have glitched or something because the game is easily won after Rc8.
