The white king is just too open.  His e-pawn gets picked off in many lines 
and black will still have two reserves!    Like most endgames,  it's all a
question of time. Since  white has to lose a move to break the  pin and move
his king, there is no  point in capturing on b2 yet.  } 50... Kg7 {So Kasparov
used his  'extra move' to get his king off the  back rank and away from queen
check and also safe from the white a-pawn  queening with check.    The more
you look, the  harder it is to find a concrete winning  line for Kasparov. I'm
sure he found that  out himself long ago! Just pushing the pawn is not enough.

Computers need evals in order to decide what to play, so their move

The f5 rook will move aside to  let the knight into f5.  } 26... Nb8 {
Be cautious about moving the c1 rook too soon. Black can grab the c3 pawn  and
then the d4 pawn with check. Black's only hope is to get  that knight back
into action. He can't play  on a piece down!    Another problem for black is
that after ..f6, the 7th rank became weak. So rook infiltrations on the e-file
are also  possible. Black really doesn't have  any counterplay, that's the
hallmark of a  nice attacking position! If black doesn't  move the queen and
play ..c5, he's got a big  bag of nothing.} 27. Rh5 f5 28. Qf4 {Pono is happy
to give up a  pawn to get out of the pressure. Maybe Garry  missed this?!
