In a magazine I found the following position. It should be a draw ? Unfortunately I don't have the following issue of the magazine with the solution. It is a 6-piece-endgame. I tried to solve it with the help of Fritz6 (without tablebases), but I can't. [D]K7/8/4k3/1R1R4/8/8/p7/7r w - - I had the following to ideas: a) Go to a 5-piece-endgame: 1. Re5+ Kf6 2. Rf5+ Kg6 3. Rg5+ Kh6 4. Rh5+ Rxh5 5. Rb6+ Kg5 6. Ra6 Rh2 b) Allow Black to promote the pawn: ... 4. Rge5 a1=Q+ 5. Ra5 I think in both cases White loses the game. But I can't proof it without tablebases. - Can somebody with the 5-piece-tablebases proof position a) - Are some 6-piece-tablebases available to proof position b) without a pawn or the initial position with one pawn. - Is there somebody who knows the initial position and its solution ? Thank you Ralf Poschmann
