Even with this, though, I think black loses after 2. Kf3 >[anything] 3. Rxb3 Rxa2, as the White king can hide from the rook as the passed >pawn advances. I do not think that I can win this game after Kf3 Ke5 Rxb4 Rxa2 I cannot see a way to win. I and my opponent analyzed it with computer programs and did not find a way to win. I think to agree to a draw but I will try to ask a better player if I have practical chances before I do it. There is no chance to win my opponent in a drawn KRP vs KR because he is using tablebases for this endgame. both sides are using computers so there is no chance for mistakes that a computer program does not do.
