And if 6...Kd3?

n9531l1

After your 7th move, Black agrees to a draw.

When Trexler finishes working on it, I'm going to give him an explanation, but I don't know if he looked at your moves or is still looking for the drawing procedure.

White mates in five if Black is to move: 1. ...Rd2 2. Ra8+ Rd8 3. Ra7 (Black moves) 4. Rh7

@varelse1:  You can't count on Black helping you to draw. What is your move after the moves posted by Trexler? Please post your solution in white text, since Trexler is still working on the problem.

Varelse1 has the right idea, but wrong execution. Kh1 is a better way to retain the opposition

I think that Kh1 loses to Kb2 Kh2 Kb3 Kh3 Kc3 Kg3 Kd4. Any moves here wrong?

What is your move for White after 4...Kd4? What about after 3...Kb4?

3. Kh1 right? 

I'm trying to keep from spoiling Trexler's solution efforts. That's why I asked nicely for solutions to be posted in white text.
