[D]1knB4/8/7p/4R3/7K/8/3r4/7B w - - 0 1

White to move. Win.

Although the programs don't "see" the solution
(despite the +- assessment), you should be able
to solve it. (i.e. Hiarcs is tossing out the correct
moves - the first ones at least).

Nevertheless you will have the opportunity to
think a second too...

P.S.
Btw, I find it somewhat irritating that in a position
like, say, wKg1, Bf1, Re1, bKg7, Rf7, Pe6 the
programs refuse to take the black pawn.
Of course this is due to the Tablebases: they see
that the remaining endgame is drawn but assess
the position above as better for white...
Players without the knowledge of the technicalities
behind might wonder why their engine doesn't
play Rxe6. Not very user friendly, imho.
