Mmmhh:
1 Nf3 c2
2 Rxe5 Kf6
3 Rxe3 c1(Q) and White will soon lose material.

back to the drawing board (pun intended)...

That must be it. I missed 3...Rg8, so I kept trying to find out why my solution seemed so simple... Roll Eyes Again, an amazing final position! Shocked Can't remember to have seen that kind of dominance in a pure rook ending position.

Black can also play strong moves not only white!

This time one cannot go wrong, cause it's all forced...

1.Bh5 Bd6 2.Rxf7#  Grin

... but what happens really after 1.Bh5 - it's a simple double attack (f7,g3) - let's say: 1...Bc7 2.Rf7 Kd6 3.Rf6!

OK Black can also go back to d8 with the king - this leads to a forced loss by zugzwang: 1.Bh5 Bxc7 2.Rxf7+ Kd8 3.Rxc7 Rg8 4.Rc4 Rg5+ 5.Ke6 Rxh5 6.h4

Black to play an lose! Anyway you dont have to foresee this, cause it's coming natural as there is no other starting move than 1.Bh5.
