rook giving check is toothless tiger .. kf2 takes care of that

1.d6 Re1+ [1…Rc5 2.d6 +-]2.Kh2 [2.Kf2 Rd1 3.Rc8 Kg7 4.Re8 Rd6 5. Bc4 +-] Rd1 3.Rc8 Kf8 4.Bb5 Rd6 5.Re8+ Kg7 6.a4 +-
Why not 1. Rc8 immediately?
after Kh2 black plays Nxd6 so white shuld play kf2
Yeah, nix 1.Kh2. After 1.Rc8 it looks more complicated, 1…Kg7 2.Bb5 or 2.Rd8 Nf6 and it starts to really branch out.
1. d6 Re1+
2. Kf2 Rd1
3. Rc8
-either-
3. … Kg7
4. Rd8 Rd6
-or-
3. … Rd6
4. Rd8+ Kg7
-then-
5. Bc4 Rd4
6. Re4 +-
How is it that the queening pawn can’t be stopped? After rook x rook, the rook will return to the d-file. Attacking it with the bishop will just push it that much further out of reach. Then the knight will come down to f6, thereby attacking it twice. If I’ve missed something, then someone set me straight. I probably did miss something. I’ve barely had a few hours of sleep all week long. So I’m practically a zombie while I’m writing this! Take very good care all & have a great day. Cheers to all!
anonymous, 1.d6 Rc5 2.d7 Rd5 3.de (Q)+ +-. Your eyes are getting heavy, you can hardly keep them open, sleep…sleep.
