Hi Pavel

A rook ending that is far from easy. Anyway, I would not dare say it's a draw.
White has good winning chances and should try to bring his king to the queens
side, later on giving up his b-pawn against Black's h-pawn. After half an hour
of analysing I could find no way for Black to save the game. I would however not
go so far as to say that Black - with most accurate play - cannot hold the game.
We have here a typical position where in a correspondence game you would have to
invest many many hours to find the correct way. And as we all know: rook endings
can be very difficult to analyse.
