Anyway, I couldn't defend this endgame successfully today playing against Crafty
18.07 when I gave it enough time for it to come back with a 3.4+ eval each move:
[Event "Edited game"]
[Site "none"]
[Date "2001.09.20"]
[Round "-"]
[White "-"]
[Black "-"]
[Result "*"]
[FEN "8/2k5/1p4R1/1K6/P2b4/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]

14. Rb7 Bf2 15. Rxb6+
I realize that my play probably was quite suboptimal. Where would you first have
deviated from black's moves?
