After 55.N'4e white win so:
55. ... +R7i-2i 56.S-2h +R1ix2h 57.Gx2h S'3h 58.K-3g +Rx2h 59.K-4h S-3i=
(double check)
60.K-5i G'6h 61.K-4i S-4h=(or S-4h+ or +R-4h as you want)
if 60.K-5g (or 60.K-4g) +R-4h tsume too

Black must attack with permanent checks, but white king escape to
5e-4d-3c-3b-4a. Black not have enough pieces in a hand.
