Chess Ending #4

July 23rd, 2014 petrs

White has two pawns down, but the win is not easy. Or is it? White to move.

[FEN “8/8/P7/8/3K4/r7/P2R4/k7 w – – 0 1”]

   First the king setup a mating attack tactic 1.Kc4 Rxa6 2.a4 {if Rxa4 then Kb3 mate follows}Ra7 or Ra8 follows by 3.Kb3 then it easy from there.

   Thanks, but I don’t get it. After 3.Kb3, doesn’t 3…Rb4+ force a draw?

   Jeff,
   After 4.Kxb4, don’t you think being a R up is enough to win? How’s that a draw??
