Chess problem 37 / Schachaufgabe 37

I did analyze it, but I don't have the time to discuss every single useless move with you now. The challenge stands in case you think you reach at least a draw as black. We can reduce the stake to 100 Steem if you prefer it.

I only got 60 Steem and it's all invested in power. How can you claim it's a useless move? Now you can't block the black King and Rook with the Bishop. And I though the comment section was for analysing the chess moves.

1. ... h6 will be the last move I analyse.

1. Rxh5 h6
2. Rxh6 and white wins easily.

My instincts says

  1. Rxh5 h6
    2 Rxh6 g5

1. Rxh5 h6
2. Rxh6 g5
3. Rxh8+ Kxh8
4. Ke3 and the king will catch the knight.

Yeah but how long will it take.

  1. Rxh5 h6
  2. Rxh6 g5
  3. Rxh8+ Kxh8
  4. Ke3 Kg7

Not long.

I assume then you are playing Kf2 then.

You're right, too many variables, my brain is cooked. The only long shot I see is to let the White King take the Black Knight while the Black King goes to the other side of the board to help out in a pawn massacre.
