I really like this one ; there are a few engines that can solve it quite fast ,
a few can't solve it at all .
Black is in serious trouble ; keymove 35. ...Rc5 and draw ! This is really
brilliant I think ; it's all about understanding that in a rook ending 4 against
3 pawns on the same wing usually can't win ( at least that's the human
explanation ) .
