Actually I have just had another thought, after 41... Ke4? 42. Bxg5 Kxd4 White can play even more strongly: 43. Bf6+ Ke4 44. Kg4 and now Black really is lost, for instance 44...b6 45. h4 Nf8 46. Bd8 c6 47. Bc7
c5 48. h5 c4 49. bxc4 dxc4 50. a4 etc., the knight will probably end up on h7 at some point, and with the bishop on e7 (assuming it doesn't have other things to do like taking the a and b-pawns!) it will be trapped.
Anyway, the important thing to learn from this is that it is not even necessary to analyse this line, as a strong player would avoid it on general principles, and spend his time looking at something more relevant!
Food for thought!
