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
