Does anyone know if a rook and bishop vs a rook is a draw?
chessman_calum

If there aren't any pawns and with strong play from both sides, I think it is a draw. Keeping your king and rook on opposite colors from the bishop as much as possible. I can't be sure because I don't recall ever playing it.
If you have an example it would be easier to see if there is anything possible.

It's not a draw, but it's very tricky to convert it to a win. This might be helpfull:

In general it's a draw (although there are positions the defender has to watch out for). The one time I got it in a tournament (it was about my 10th USCF game) I was only able to hold out for about 25-30 moves.
