h4!
This should win straight away.
54...Rxg3 55.Bb4 Ra2 55.Be1 ( 55. Bb4 Ra2 56.Kc5 Rc2+ 57.Kd6 h3) 55...Rge3 56.Bxh4 Ra4+ 57.Kc5 Rc3+ and ...Rxd4+ should do the job)
Josh admitted afterward that he had simply overlooked this move in his calculations but he quickly reorients himself.
Driving the King back into battle is probably not the best idea but when you are down to 30 seconds it's tough!

Here I am sure that Dmitry burned up a lot of clock time on 20..Rxa4, which though tempting, unfortunately falls short: 20...Rxa4 21.Rxa4 f6 (21...a5 22.Rd1 f6 23.e4!) 22.e4! fxe5 23.exd5 Bxd5 24.Rd1 and the Knight on b8 stands out.

White's purposeful play up to this point could have been used as a model of how to push down the Berlin Wall but here he gives one check that spoils all his good work as it lets the Black King into the game. 32.Rg7 Rxc4 33.f4 followed by f5 would be decisive - the Rook on the 7th and two connected passed pawns are two much for Black to handle. Also getting the job done is 32.Rg6 Kf7 33.Rf6+ Ke7 34.g5.
