You have some of the moves wrong 43. Qh5e4 is impossible for example - do you mean d5?
And some of black's king moves have an extra letter in them after the K: Kgh7g8 instead of Kg7g8 presumably

I'm right though, there's no forced draw there?

43.Qe8+ instead of 43.Qf5 seems to keep the perpetual.

Well personally i'd say being a rook up is normally enough to win. Just exchange Queens?

No, it doesn't appear to be a perpetual. It is a known pattern that one side can't perpetual with a lone queen vs king and queen in the corner unless the position has other factors that keep the king out of g7.

Unknown pattern to me.
Now I know that means little but,from the game,after 43.Qf7+,how can black escape the perp other than by trading queen for knight?I don't see it 😳
