  wwall: Perhaps 43.a4 Ra2 44.Kxf5 Rxa4 45.Ra6 Ra3 46.f4 c4 47.g6 Rg3 48.Kf6 c3 49.Rxa5 Kd6 50.Ra2 Kc5 51.Ra1 c2 52.Rc1 Rg2 53.g7 Kd4 54.Rxc2 and White wins.

Is 50.Ra7+ Kf8 51.Ke5 any improvement or is this a dead draw?

  ketchuplover: What about 26.Rxf6?
May-05-08  Halofire: what about 26.Rxf6? so you lose a rook and for what?
May-05-08  Halofire: 26.Rxf6 makes no sense at all.
Apr-09-19  groog: Halofire, after a quick look, if kxf6, then f4 which doesn't look too bad, in fact (without using an engine) it might lead to an interesting tussle. Just saying.

  Ziryab: <wwall> I don’t see White making progress with 50.Ra7. As in the game, Black’s rook has White’s king cut off and Black’s king is able to remain in front of the pawn.

Tibor Karolyi and Nick Aplin, <Endgame Virtuoso Anatoly Karpov> (2007) have extensive annotations to this game with many long variations showing alternative rook endings.

  Ziryab: 46.g6 seems testing, but likely still drawn.
