Feb-27-19  Straclonoor: Interesting ending!
White could won.
Here is the line from Lomonosov TB7
48...Re3 49. Bb8 f4 50. Bg6+ Kg8 51. Bxf4 Ra3 52. Bf5 Kf7 53. Bc2 Ra5+ 54. Kh6 Rc5 55. Bb3+ Kf6 56. Bg5+ Kf5 57. Ba4 Rc7 58. Bd8 Ra7 59. Bb5 Ra8 60. Bg5 Rg8 61. Bd7+ Ke5 62. Be7 Rg3 63. h5 Rg8 64. Bh4 Rg1 65. Be8 Rh1 66. Bg5 Rb1 67. Bf7 Rb7 68. Kg6 Rb6+ 69. Kg7 Kf5 70. Bh4 Rb4 71. Be1 Ra4 72. h6 Rg4+ 73. Kf8 Rg2 74. h7 Rh2 75. Kg7 Rh1 76. Bg6+ Ke5 77. Bd2 Rxh7+ 78. Bxh7 Ke6 79. Be3 Ke5 80. Kf7 Kd5 81. Kf6 Kc4 82. Ke6 Kc3 83. Kd5 Kb4 84. Bg6 Ka4 85. Bd3 Kb4 86. Bd2+ Kb3 87. Kd4 Kb2 88. Kc4 Ka3 89. Kc3 Ka4 90. Kc2 Ka3 91. Bb5 Ka2 92. Bc1 Ka1 93. Bb2+ Ka2 94. Bc4#

The line is instructive, how to won this type of endings (2B vs R) with rook pawn. It seems that with not rook pawn win is more easy.

Jun-16-22  Granny O Doul: The only thing I think I remember about this ending is that Black is supposed to set up his pawns on f5, g6, h5.
