All good so far but Rg3 is a blunder as it traps the white rook and allows black to force an exchange. Anywhere else is still a draw....

4.Rg6 ..Rg2
5.Rh6 and black has nothing better than perpetual check or giving up the pawn....

5.Rh6 .. Rg3
6.Kf2 .. Rg8
7.Kf3 .. RF8
8.

What have you accomplished?

8. Ke3 and we're still drawn.

Look we're not saying we think it's drawn. It is drawn. I can find the exact position in an endgame tablebase and it will say that the position is drawn.

i have been testing it out, nothing wrong with that. i have cleared the rook off the g file and managed to move the king to the e-file. this is the best i can find, and after looking i would also agree with you in the draw.

i also found a nice little sequence in the king being played to g4 instead of going to the e-file.

8.Kg4 .. Kg2
9.R*H3 .. Rg8 (chec ...[text shortened]... ke this and learning how to move.

No problem, i enjoyed it too. 🙂

Except that KPK endings with an a or h file pawn are drawn (discounting the obviously won positions with the weaker king cutoff from the promotion square already).

And as long as the Black rook remains on the file it is on then MaryAnn cannot get her King across to use it to attack the black pawn.

I may have gone for a draw on repeated positions though.

Are you trying to say that the position isn't drawn?

Wow, I've never met a 1900+ player who sounds like they still call the knight "horsey".

it's pretty much impossible to be only 1700 using a program... if someone is, they're doing it so wrong it hurts to even think about it.

Amen.

Mary Ann, I have a game for you if you want.

Just don't flag me if I go inactive for a while.
