If the pawns are stripped off it is a draw, since RB vs R is drawn in the typical case. If the rooks are traded, it is a draw because of the "impotent pair". If the B is sacrificed for the two pawns somehow it is a draw because the two pawns up R+P ending would be easily drawn. The only way it can be won is if white can advance an h-pawn, with or without winning the g-pawn (one h-pawn can be traded for it if necessary), without trading any pieces, and without allowing counterplay via the a-pawn. Seems like an extremely tall order to me. This is a typical Crafty endgame zap. It has been doing this for years. bruce
