Kb6 wins
White wins.
1. Rc7+ Kb8 (1… Kd8 2. Rd6#) 2. Kb6, followed by 3. R6c6 and 4. Rb7+ mates or wins a Rook.
I think, white wins, because of:
1.Rc7+ – Kb8
2.Rb7+ – Kc8
3.Kb6! – a4
4.Rc7+ – Kb8
5.Rgc6 – and white wins
Finals are difficult, I thought 1.Rb6? Tb8 + 2.Ra7 TB4! so I do not know! thank you.
