Is there a win here? - 2006/12/19 09:16
But then again im black:
w:Ka1, Ra8, pa7
b:Kc3 Rb4 pc4
Black to move.
I won the white pawn easily enough with:
1.... Ra4+ 2.Kb1 Ra5!
Zugzwang!
2.Rh8 Rxa7 3.Rb8 Rh7
I considered 3....Next rc7 but Kc1! and I can't advance my king.
4.Rc8
His rook takes up it's best post. Now his strategy is sipmly to check me whenever he can. With his K adequately shuffling between b1, c1, and d1 I can never quickly achieve a lucena.
As we say that being said, I seem to have great rook position and my king is ahead of my pawn.
I'm in time trouble.
4. ... Rb2+ 5.Kc1 Rb4?! at this point I'm bashing out moves, inadvertently trying to find something.
6.Rc8 Kb3 7.Kb1 and I don't see how I can make any progress eg 7... c3
8.Rc7 and Rh4 is met by a barage of checks, while any attempt to interpose the rook gives me a drawn k+p ending since the rook trade pulls my king back and alowes white to play Kc2.
Did I miss a win or a good chance to give white an opportunity to screw up?.
