Subject: A test position

Author: Steffen Jakob

Date: 11:20:26 02/26/03

Here is a position from Fritz 7 - Hossa:

[D]1r6/R1K2pkp/B1R1p1b1/1P1p2P1/3P4/1r6/8/8 b - - 0 53

The Rb8 is attacked. I think every move to a square of the 8th rank loses
because white is able to push his b pawn (in the game Hossa played Rf8? and lost
quickly).

How long does your favourite engine see that 53... R8xb5 or 53... R3xb5 draws?
My main line is 53... R8xb5 54. Bxb5 Rxb5 55. Rxe6 Rb4 56. Re8 h6 and black
looks pretty safe.

Greetings,
Steffen.
