Can it be Saved?

That line I gave wasn't meant to be the best...I threw it out tongue in cheek....it's hard to hold the position if you can't exchange a pair of Rooks.

I see no way to force an exchange so it's hard to force a draw. I'd likely lose White's side even if best moves draw. It isn't easy for a rusty older player like myself.

Nevermind! As we now all know, it isn't easy for a shining almost new engine like Rykba neither.

Preempting Rh8+ from the initial position and playing out rest of the game with 90+30 time control.

Looks sound to me.
And now the question of the year: do you really think 1.Rh8+ together with let's say at least 2.Rh3 is the only correct line of the first two moves for white?

If I knew, Topalov or Anand would be preparing a match against me. The original game I thought should have been a draw. Did not think a full Bishop ahead with both sides having a pair of Rooks could lead to a win given the position. It's really an exhibition on the power of a Bishop.
