FEN for today's exercise:

8/kp6/p1p2p2/3r4/1P1b1pPR/P2R1K2/5P2/8 w - - 0 1

PGN for today's exercise:

1. Rh5 Be5 2. Rxd5 cxd5 3. Rxe5 fxe5 4. g5 d4 { What is the best move for White? } *

And the answer is...

1. Ke4, 5. Ke2, stopping the Black pawns before pushing their own.


2. g6 would be bad due to 5... d3 6. g7 e4+ 7. Kxf4 d2 8. g8=Q d1=Q and the game will probably end in a draw.
