1…Rf7
2.Ke4! and white wins.
2.Rxf7? lead to a draw
no … rxf7 will lose to ke4, wh k will win the blk pawn and remain in front of his own pawn.

No because after 1.Ke4 there’s nothing black can do
I think yes…
1. Rf7 Ke4
2. Rf5 Kf5
3. Kf7 Ke5
4. c4 dc
5. Ke7 is a draw…
Nice defensive job by 16-year old Katrine, who got her second WIM-norm by holding this endgame against a GM with 1…Rxf7!
Well, I think this is not possible (for a draw). Yes, if white changes directly rooks, the result is a draw. Meanwhile… these are my thoughts 🙂
After 1… Rxf7:
a) 2.Rxf7+ Kxf7 3.Ke4 Ke6 and draw.
b) 2.Ke4! Rxf5 3.Kxf5 Kf7! (opposition) 4.Ke5 Ke7 5.Kd5 Kd7 6.Kxc5 Kc7 7.Kd5 Kd7 8.d4! and White breaks the opposition, winning.
My conclussion: white wins!
Is correct? Mmmm 🙂
