While solving it I was thinking, that's pretty unrealistic, but after solving the game appeared! So you really did it!
Nice draw.

43 .. Kf8 and as long as the Rf3 leaves the 3rd rank the stalemate is averted. But nice save though :-)
I thought so at first too, but Kf8 then Rg8 (not Rf7) and the rook can keep giving checks without ever stepping on the f file.

I did? when? I am finally regaining my chess strength from a few years back.
EDIT: Now I see the game. No, I wasn't trying to stalemate. That was mouseslip
I didn't understand anything... why after your move 42. Rg2... your opponent didn't take your Rook with his pawn ? 42. … h3 x g2 ??

42. … hxg2 ("draw by stalemate").
Where is here "stalemate" ??
43. a3 Kxg2 (!!)
After this Whites' move there is no stalemate. )))
No, it's a cakewalk to Checkmate.
Blacks can move a 2... a1... (!!!) Then Rg2 (!) - Checkmate. And all is over.

thats about as good as 1.e4 and black touches his king accidentally and is forced to tip it over and resign by the touch move rule.
Why does he have to resign? It can move to e2. Of course, he would look like an idiot but still.

seeing you are the owner of this thread bunny, got any more puzzle ?
almost makes me feel like deleting my top post and sticking it to @stiggling who's now @manatini and I don't think he'd complain anyway.
43 .. Kf8 and as long as the Rf3 leaves the 3rd rank the stalemate is averted. But nice save though :-)
Edit: my mistake - the Rf8 never gets to leave the 3rd rank
