If Black plays 1. ... Rc8, then White simply moves his K back to b7.
It seems pretty straightforward. Am I missing something?
Kb6 is safer instead of Ka6 but you got all the moves right alena. Sorry Rakmaninov it still a draw you way
@Alena 1.Ka6 f1D+! Blacks wins
Here is the solution.
V-1
1.Ka6! Rc8
2.Kb7 Rg8
3.Ka6 Ra8+
4.Kb7 Rh8
5.Ka6 f5
6.Kxa5 f4
7.Ka6 f1=Q+
8.Rxf1 Kxf1
9.a5 f3
10.Kb7 f2
11.c8=Q Rxc8
12.Kxc8 Ke2
13.a6 f1=Q
14.a7
It's a draw
V-2
1.Ka6! Ra8+
2.Kb7 Re8
3.Ka6 f5
4.Kxa5 f4

6.Rxf1 Kxf1
7.a5 f3
8.Kb7 f2
