Joined 04 Sep '06 Moves 13491 Is it possible for black to win, assuming perfect play on each side?
(I do not know, this was a blitz game. I lost - I had only 3 total minutes left.)
Joined 17 Dec '06 Moves 8208 It's not looking too good for black. I've seen games where three pawns win against a rook. Four is pushing it , but 5!? It would be tough, but the only way I can think of that you would easily attain the answer is to put it into a program.

No. It is not possible with perfect play on both sides.. If white were to completely suck, he/she would lose.

Joined 17 Apr '07 Moves 3584 if black moves first, with perfect play, I see a draw by insufficient material. If white moves first, black looses.

[fen]8/8/1r6/1k1P4/4P1P1/5P1P/6K2/8[/fen] 2 connected pass pawns are stronger then a rook in the endgame...let alone 5 pawns
Joined 17 Mar '07 Moves 207 Only if they're far enough advanced. They need the king's protection until they reach the sixth rank, and even the king probably isn't enough if you back them up a couple more ranks.

What was wrong with 1...Kc4, with mate in 4 at most?

Joined 03 May '05 Moves 10684 i was thinking this too, but i think white can avoid letting black maintain the opposition.

What opposition? It's your standard mate with Rook and King.
