No you did not miss anything its only not an easy forced draw. I only wanted to restate that the check on the third row is the trick that saves blacks bacon when the king tries to stick to h6. Black has an even better move in the starting position. 1... Rb1! and a forced draw, and then we get the rook rook theme after 2. Rc5 Rh1+ 3. Bh5 Rc1!. The winning try for white is to get the king to f6 and shield it with the bishop on e6-f7. But that is undoable in general because of the rook trick. MvH Dan Andersson
