Hello,

There are positions that EGTB's are not needed.

(or even then if

Dan my line of defense is 1. Rxd6 Kxd6 2. g4 why would you bring me to that
nonsense 5... a5, you did not understand my first post.

BTW do you want to prove that after the rook exchange black will win?

For me I want to prove that after the rook exchange that is 1. Rxd6 Kxd6
black cannot force a win.

The line 1.Rxd6 Kxd6 2. Kb4?? losses, which is probably the line you are
referring to. Please take a look again, the correct defense is 2. g4!!.

Just a reminder your posting of moves have a lot of errors. I cannot sometimes
figure out what was happening, you seemed to type fast enough.

I hope it is more clearer now.

Cheers,
Dinan
