1...Rxa1 is stalemate.

1. Rd1+ Ke7 2. Rd4 "building a bridge" is the standard way to win.

Yeah. I knew about the "building the bridge" method, but I went with this instead.

And "this" is wrong, as caveatcanis pointed out. White doesn't win with 1. Ra1? Rxa1 stalemate.

I know. I just made it this way.

So, why do you call it "very good" if the solution is flawed?

You do have a point.
