depth 26 wow!
I think after rxe5 d7 white has also not more than a draw.

Shredder 8 finds Qd2 quite quickly. Until depth 21 it prefers Re4 but switches
back to Rb1 on depth 21.

A very intersting and complicated endgame. So you are suggesting, that
[D]5qk1/p6p/1p4p1/4P1Q1/3P3P/8/P4P2/2r2NK1 b - - 0 1

is a draw?
