This is a tough game to analyze when you start with the ordinary move 1. Rb4. Is it a win or a draw?

Illbtu

Another Fortress according to my analysis (if 1.Rb4). Hence the name of this thread, totally in the spirit of the "original 1"!

That's quite possible! Didn't have my fortress detection shield on!

I wasn't looking for the fastest win, just the simplest, and 1 Rxg4 fxg4 2 b4 Kc3 3 b5 Ke3 4 Kg1 looks straightforward.  White doesn't move the g pawns.  If Black captures one then White queens and picks up everything.  If Black pushes to h2 then White plays Kh1, queens and picks up everything.

Illbtu

As with all clever beings, black king has a nasty surprise up his sleeves when the white Queen shows up for late-night cocktail party at the "Lonely Ensamble" Hotel! So, nothing is "straightforward"; it is more like a "crab-walk"!

That is the trickery/slippery part of these sorts of business or as I call it, "puzziness"; you never know what lurks around each and every corner. And that is just great, it keeps 1 on the toes!
