1. Rf7
White to play and win
Sort:
1. Rf7 doesn't win.

1.Rf7 Kh7 and that pawn is stuck.
There is no win.
I remember this one. It is mate in 166 with the move 1.g8=N+!!

So a draw by the 50 move rule.

Yes, I think so
White can force a R+N vs B+N endgame, which is practically a draw, but Nalimov may think differently.
I have no interest analysing such an endgame, sorry for that...
1.g8=N+ and then ?

1.g8=N+ Kg6 2.Rd1 Kf5 3.Kb2 Kf4 4.Kc2 Ke3 5.Nf6 Ke2 6.Ne4 f1=N (promoting to queen loses easily) when this is a draw, as far as I'm concerned. Even if Nalimov claims a win for white, it's highly unlikely white will find the right moves OTB, and more than that, the winning method may extend over 50 moves.
No Nalimov please
Just the beginning
