[53...Re3!
The reason this move wins is that after 54.d5
Kf8
55.Kd7
b5
56.Ne6+
Kg8
57.d6
b4
58.Nc5
the rook controls b3 and is therefore ready to support the b-pawn without wasting a tempo. Then the continuation 58...Kf7
59.Kc6
Rc3
60.Kb5

61.Na4
Rc2
62.d7
Ke7
leads to a clear win. It is interesting to note that all Black's moves from move 53 to move 62 are unique winning moves (apart from a possible repetition at one point). Of course this would be tough to find in a game. I think the hardest part is the manoeuvre ...Kg8-f8-g8-f7, which looks quite paradoxical.] 54.d5
