Re: So what's the best move here from a drawn game?
This is interesting. If Stockfish couldn't find this move...could Rybka 4 find it? And if neither engine can find it...is it because theyr'e not using TBs? In other words - would Stockfish have found this move without any TB support had the endgame strength been addressed in this release? Would a ...

Re: So what's the best move here from a drawn game?
7. Rcc7 is a wrong line. I think that white is winning after 7. Rb5! ++-
Position after 7. Rb5!:
r5k1/5r2/7p/1R1P4/1p5P/3n2B1/2R3PK/8 b - - 0 1
I think, white is winning here.
ED.
Yes! with the idea Rc4/Rd4 winning a pawn.
Stockfish did not find this move within 26 plys.

ECO C57 Traxler Theory
Hi All,
Anyone interested to solve this opening line?
Since 5.Nxf7 IMO leads to a forced draw I am now looking at the 5.Bxf7 retreat to b3 instead of d5 or c4 which seem to be less accurate.
My main line run out to mate may serve to be a good starter as posted below:
