1.g3 Kf5 (1…Ke5 2.Te8 +-; 1…Kf3 2.Td3 Kf2 3.Td2 +-; 2…Ke4 3.Te8 +-)
2.Td5 Ke6 (2…Kf6 3.Nd7, 4.Te5+-)
3.Nc4 (3.Td8? Ke7!) K:d5 4.Ne3, 5.Nc2 +-)
it seems to me hat in all variations black queens with check, what haven’t i seen, g3+ is met by kf5, Rd5+ Ke6 and black queens…. Rd4+ Ke5 or Ke3 leads to the same and if Nd5+ then Ke5 (..Ke4??, Nc3+ and Nxe2)…so how to stop the pawn?
Ok i see it now g3+ Kf5, Rd5+ Ke6 (i was on the right path) Rd8 Ke7, Rd3! e1=Q, Re3+ Qxe3, Nd5+ and white wins….nice endgame, very instructive
1. Rf6+ Ke5
2. R:f7 Ke6
3. R:f8 Ke7
4. R:f3! e1:Q
5. R:e3+! Q:e3
6. N:d5+ +-

thanks! regards,

Oh… im sorry
maybe 1. g3+
Rf6 wins. King has to come in the line of pawn . RXf7 , E8Q, Re7+, and take pawn in the next move
The best I can come up with is the following. There may be a better line.
1. g3+ Kf5
2. Rd5+ Ke6
3. Nc4 Kxd5
4. Ne3+ Ke4
5. Nc2 Kd3
5. Ne1 Kd2
6. Nf3 e1(Q)
7. Nxe1 Kxe1
8. Kg5 Kf2
9. g4 Kf3
1/2
White wins if Black doesn’t play 1… Kf5 and 2… Ke6
1. g3 is to prevent a check on queening.
If white is supposed to win this, don’t see the line.

Nice puzzle. After Rd8, Ke7, I totally missed Rd3-e3
