Hi Peter,
This may not be a good test position. White has a clear won game here.
Rxd7 appears to be no better than Kxg7.
Crafty search on Rxd7
16-> 1:31 3.53 1. ... Rxd7 2. c8=Q+ Re8 3. Qxe8+ Kxg7
4. e6 Qc4 5. Ree1 Ra7 6. Rxf7+ Rxf7
7. Qxf7+ Kh6 8. Qf2 a4 9. Qd2+ Kg7
10. e7 Nxe7 11. Rxe7+ Kg6 12. Qd6+
Kh5 13. Rxh7+ Kg4
