Rh8 The point of the position is that Black can't maintain his h-pawn, which then opens up a second front for White ... essential for a win in this type of ending. If the h-pawns were not on the board Black could maintain a blockade with this type of scheme: BR at a4, BB at e3 and White could not make progress. Cheers, Jim
