Ra1 Rxa1 e7
Not that simple, is it? Don’t you have to take into account
1. Ra1 Rxa1
2. e7 e3+
3. Kxe3 Bg6
Your idea looks like it’s probably part of the solution, but there’s something else going on here. I still haven’t figured it out.
draw?
simple: 1. f:e4=
Well its a draw, i think, becouse:
1. f:e4 simple or
1. e7 Ba4
2. Ra1 R:a7
3. e8:Q B:e8
4. R:a7 e:f3 byt i cant belive in white win…

Another line that doesn’t work is 1.Rc1, hoping for 1…Ba4? 2.Rc5+! Black just goes about his business with 1…Rxa7 2.Rxc2 fxe3.
1. Ra1 Rxa1
2. e7 e3+
3. Ke2!
1. Ra1 Rxa1
2. e7 e3+
3. Ke2!
Could you elaborate, please? No doubt there’s some simple reason for White not to resign after 3…Bg6, but I don’t see it.
I think the position is wrong. The white king should be on h2 instead fo f2

Well now, that’s very different, isn’t it?
Good catch! Without the threat of …e3+, clearing the diagonal for the bishop to reach g6 with tempo, Black is lost.
What about:
1. e7 e3+(if …Ba4, Ra1)
2. Kg3 Bg6
3. f4! Be8
4. f5 R:a7
5. f6
What about:
1. e7 e3+(if …Ba4, Ra1)
2. Kg3 Bg6
3. f4! Be8
4. f5 R:a7
5. f6
From the original, erroneous diagram:
1.e7 Ba4
2.Ra1 Rxa7
3.Rxa4 Rxe7
… and Black saves the draw.
1…e3+
2.Kg3 Bg6
3.f4 Be8
4.f5 Rxa7
5.f6
… doesn’t lead anywhere. Black gets a draw in that line as well, for example:
5…e2
6.Re1 Kg6
rc1 bd3 rc5 rc5 a8q
rc1 bd3 rc5 rc5 a8q
rc1 bd3 rc5 rc5 a8q
Try 1…Rxa7 instead, which draws (2.Rxc2 exf3).
