Interesting puzzle...

The position at move 63 should be lost for white if Black only knows how to use opposition/outflanking correctly.

The position after 71. ...Qe1+??? spoils a won position and enters a theoretical draw since Black cannot use the usual Q vs pawn on the 7th technique due to stalemate.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think White is actually just 1 move too slow to draw (despite the outcome of the game) from the given position since after Black queens he can block f8 with his queen.

Poor white~
71. ... Qe1 spoils nothing as the position is already a dead draw
A queen vs a bishop pawn on the 7th rank - a theoretically drawn position
71..Qe1 is a huge blunder because 71..Qb4 just gets the queen in front of the pawn obviously
yes, 69. Ke6 was the decisive blunder
you are a strong player Jan, I did not know a bishop pawn was a draw, so It depence of the column nice to know,
Ill check it tomorrow as Its important endgame.
