  perfidious: Simple stuff: 54.Rxd4+ Kxd4 55.Kxg7 Kd5 56.Be5 leaves Black without resource.
May-10-25  alshatranji: I had 54. Ra6, and it seemed that after Rxa6 55. c8=Q, White should win. Not according to Stockfish, which has a draw after 55...Rxd6+ 56. Kh7 Bf6 57. Qb7+ Kc4 58. Qc7+ Kd5 59. Qb7+. Well.
May-11-25  Walter Glattke: a) 1. Rxd4+ Kxd4 2.Kg7 Rxd6 3.c8Q b) 2.-Kd5 3.Ke7 Rxc7+ 4.Bxc7 ++-

  PawnSac: wide passers; can't stop both
May-14-25  King.Arthur.Brazil: It seems simple because B♖ is slaved: 54. Rxd4+ Kxd4 55. Kxg7 Ke4 56. f6 and has no way to stop one queening.
