100%. 1. Rh8 Kf7 2. RxQ KxR I think this is a won position for white, but I may be wrong.

it's a known tactic called a skewer.

That's what I thought, then I looked at the pawn structure.... I think he has the board upside down.

 

Edit: The board is the wrong way up but it doesn't alter your line (only the one I was thinking of Laughing).

 

EDIT II: The position is a win for Black: Ra1+ Kc2 Rxd1 Kxd1 Kxf3 Kc2 winning

I'll say it again: he has posted the board upside down:

BTW.... just discovered this game is still in progress. Discussion over, methinks.

It shouldn't matter. this is a pretty easy endgame.

Oh No! I hope you are kidding, PEP! How could the OP be so stupid? Which side of the board is he playing?


I'm not kidding. Looked in his archive to see if I could confirm the "upside-downess" of the original position and there it is, top of the pile. The OP plays Black:

that sheet music would sound very similar to, well, quiet. Wink

So doesn't the answer go back to 100% chance of a white win now that black is busted for cheating?
