    Watching him struggle at the end my thought was:
    walk the king, hold the rook to pressure, when the knight drops for the hanging pawn; rook to cover, continue walking king. Puts the pawn cover out of threat and lets you break the pawns with the king. Would take a week to walk the king there, and you would ideally force black's king to the far side with the rook holding it back while your king walked around to the far pawn.

    This is one of the greatest endgames Rook vs Knight I've ever seen.
