I think you could of won that game. By playing 61. .... Qd1+ 62. Re2 Kxh4 63. Kf2 Kg4 64. Ke3 Kg3 black wins.

But of course white doesn't have to block the Qd1 check with rook he can move his king around. But I would still try to get that pin.

Yes, this was a won position.
First, you grab the pawn, for instance with Qd1+ and if Kg3 then Qg4+ and take the pawn. No stalemate tricks available for white.
Second, you have the standard endgame, which may take some moves and some skill to do it in 50 moves but it is not that difficult;

Why the insult? Feeling inferior and trying to overcome it by bullying?

um.. do you mean 1.Re8+ Kf4 2.Rxe1 Rxe1 -kind of a 'draw' where black is a rook up and white king about to be cornered?

where's the stalemate? the white king has plenty of room to move. are you really trying to say you can't win from (hope I get this fen right):
