iliketactics: After 36...Rb3 37. Rb4 it is better to play into 37...Rxb4 38. axb4 Rb8 39. d5 Rxb4 40. d6 Rc4 41. d7 (41. Rd5 Rxc5 42. Rxc5 Bxd6 43. Rc8+ Kg7 and the win is easy since Black controls the last pawn's queening square) 41...Be7 42. d8=Q+ Bxd8 43. Rxd8+ Kg7 44. Rc8 h5 45. b3 Rb4 46. Kb2 h4 and Black wins (for example 47. Kc3 h3 48. Rd8 h2 49. Rd1 Rh4 50. Rh1 Kf1 and the Black king cannot pass the 4th rank) 
Score: 6

ecasareno: This is a won ame for Black, but half point was chopped off from the harvest. Bob's weakness in blitz play costed him half point.  
Score: 8
