Draw?

Black resigned with his rook on b5, but after Rd5+ is it a draw?

I'm curious as well, after: 1.Ke7 Re5, 2.Kd8 Rd5, 3.Kc8 Rxa5. is it a white win?

Avatar of GatheredDust

I put it into Stockfish; it believes white has an advantage. It too believes Ke7 is the best move. I'm interested to see how it goes.

Yes, but what if Rd8+ is replaced by Rc7+?

Surprised Stockfish is displaying an evaluation of 0.00!!!

I'm going to check into Kc7 as well.

I don't have an engine or a board, could you display the Stockfish moves for the "0.00" evaluation, GatheredDust?Smile

Kc7 falls to Rd7+!! and it will ultimately be a draw.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot about the move list. Sorry! Just a minute.

i plugged it into rybka 2.2 and it holds steady at +2.31, but having rybka v. rybka results in no progress.
