I'd play Kxe5, but after one minute and a half my KMT Chess chooses Bh7. Then, my vote for Bh7.

I'd play Kxe5!
Taking the dangerous pawn and protecting the bishop.

1. Kxe5 Ke8 2. c5 f6+ 3. Kd4 Ra2 4. Bg6+ Kd7 5. d6 Ke6 +-

I see no good lines for black

White has a winning position here, but the win was not as clear as it would seem. Here it appears the simple move 60. Bf5 is the best move to play. 60. c5 The move that was played in the game leads to a drawn position. See diagrams below to see how c5 leads to a draw.

Note that a5 will more than likely transpose into the c5 line.
