way to go. without calculating anything, I suspect you would gratefully wind up trading the rook for a passed pawn.
Hopeless. Say you try to trade you rook for the dark-squared bishop and one queenside pawn (White can never force promotion of the remaining queenside pawn). The problem is, you both still have all those pawns on the kingside. His much more mobile bishop can zip over and round them up. And if you fix all your pawns on the dark squares to avoid the bishop, they become easy prey for the enemy king.

I actually thought of trading for the whit bishop and a pawn for the rook and walking over my king to the right side. then I thought I could leave the pawns on white squares. but I dont believe it would be worth it because I could never force a draw without the rook. On top of that what I thought was odd was that I traded my queen for the two black rooks(I fell for a pin) and lilchess buddy traded its queen for my white bishop and two pawns. It was by no means forced so I'm thinking that the computer knew that this would be a won position.
So I was playing lil chess buddy on hard and ended up in this position and I just wanted to see if anybody had any ideas for black here in the end.
