I didn't

thought it might be also, had to look at the rank#'s to see where white started

Get_lost, I think you need your rooks lined up to take the pawn that is threatening to promote on d7. After Kc7, for instance, Rxd7+.

@TheMouse - I got it wrong as well, but if you take a look at the variations you win the pawn immediately with the correct line. You are still winning with the move that we both played but best is best.

I was also going into the wrong direction...time to take a vreak ... I guess
Abner
Solved it in the first try, it almost got me confused but I just looked at the numbers on the board, the 7th rank for black pawns

Remember, the enemy's gate is down.

I just hate boards like this, when you have to guess which way the pawns can move.

YOU are always on the bottom in Tactic Trainer.
didiz1016
can you take with the other rook?

I guess doing these tactics is like orientating yourself to the compass directions when first looking at a map. you would always do that, so you know where you're going. same here.
