I'm not so sure. If white trades the rooks it's a draw, unless it ends up being one of these studies where black can mate with 2 knights. Else, black must win the white rook first, and I don't know if it can. It seems to be a damn matter of technique, and I don't have it. :( If we assume that the pawns are gone, someone with 6 men tablebases could help. Enrique >James
