This is white lose.

Tyzer

White loses. This is no different from a rook-and-king checkmate, since white's rooks cannot break through the pawns.

hsbgowd

Lol. Look at it again.

Tyzer

EDIT: Hmmm, interesting. So no zugzwang, huh.

rooperi

Very clever. Draw, sure looks like White loses at first glance....

[edit] Wite never reaches a zugzwang position

Streptomicin

Actually it cant. In R&K end game all King moves are forced. Nothing is forcing White King to move here.
