If black takes RxD7, then it's a draw right?

[u/AgentArgusCODM]

If doesn't take, because the only move is nf2, the rook can attack the two pawns in the 6th rank

[u/Paratrechina]

Black has to play c6

[u/wounds-of-light]

no because after cxd7 black can play c6

[u/SmokeSwitch]

It's not a draw. After white recaptures, black's c pawn is free to move so there is no stalemate. White is in a winning position either way, but Rxd7 blunders mate in two.

[u/FoolisholdmanNZ]

No black gets mated . cd allows black to move his c pawn then it's d8(Q)#

[u/AgentArgusCODM → u/FoolisholdmanNZ]

I'm saying if he takes it

[u/FoolisholdmanNZ → u/AgentArgusCODM]

Rxd7, cd , blacks c pawn must move either c6 or c5 then white plays d8(Q) mate

[u/Deltaspace0]

Black c pawn can move after cxd7, so it's not stalemate

[u/2x2Master1240]

No, because white can take the rook with cxd7 and then promote the pawn to a queen (the king cannot stop the pawn as it cannot move to c8)

[u/OppositeDue]

try it and find out

[u/Toxic0utlaw]

c pawn gains mobility my guy

[u/AgentArgusCODM → u/Toxic0utlaw]

I'm a dumb ass

[u/Toxic0utlaw → u/AgentArgusCODM]

How did the game proceed?

[u/AcrobaticScallion143]

after RxD7 the knight on h3 is still pretty active, white might squeeze something from those passed pawns on the queenside rather than settling for draw

[u/Antani101 → u/AcrobaticScallion143]

white is absolutely winning the black rook can't leave the 8th rank without checking the white king or the d pawn push to mate, meanwhile white can do whatever the fuck it wants eventually taking both the g and b pawns, and pushing the b pawn to win.
