Can black hold to draw?

Post by Look »

Watching the following TCEC game it seems to me that black can avoid losing.

[d]4r3/7p/6k1/8/8/2PK1RP1/8/8 b - - 0 107

In this position black may play ... Rd8+ instead of ... Kg5

With the idea of preventing the advance of c pawn. Do you have any idea to win the game for white?

IIRC we already have 7men Lomonosov tables. This means the answer should be known exactly. Sure there are people here with access to it.
