Any other move that does not blunder the rook draws.

56. Rc4??

56. Rxd6, e.g. 56... Kxd6 57. Kd2 Ke5 58. Ke3 Kf5 59. h5! (only move; not 59. Kd4?? Kf4! 60. h5 e3 and Black even wins).

56... Re6 57. Kd2 Kf6 58. Ke3 Kf5 59. Rc5+ Kg4 60. h5 Ra6 61. Kxe4 Ra4+ 62. Kd3 Ra3+ 63. Rc3 Ra5

63... Rxc3+= is much simpler.
