Hi chris and all,
AT the moment I'm favouring King d6 for white's next move but also
considering rook f8 being the second choice. The idea being to sack the rook
for the f pawn and get the white King better placed (in opposition) to
enable white to win the rook pawn ending! Am I on the right track?
regards,
Mark.
