nope, d7 is a draw as well, your brain is NOT going to do a better job than what
has already been PERFECTLY orchestrated in EGTB's
see here 4 Xample:
New position
1.d7 Kc7 2.Rd1 Kd8 3.Rd5 Rc2 4.Kd1 Rf2 5.Kc1 Re2 6.Kd1 Rf2 7.Kc1 Re2 8.Kd1 Rf2
½-½
It can go off into many other different variations but there are ALL covered and
it's still a draw. I am surprised you made this statement knowing about EGTB or
do you?
