An instructive loss to share

en.lichess.org/nMOJz7sI/black#102

I thought it was instructive what happened here.
It almost felt like I was part of a "live endgame study".

52...Rxg3 seemed to make sense, but I could not calculate it completely. In time trouble I decided to just play it.

Stockfish shows the incredible tactic 53...g5!!

After 54.Kh3 I realized taking on g3 would lose the black e3 pawn.
Therefore I followed up with Bf4.
Now Stockfish suggests the remarkable Rxe3!? and then g4!?
Another surprise! And that looks like drawish at first sight.

And then the game basically ends (except that white won on time) with bishop + e pawn dominating over the white rook.
