I see your point now. That is a difficult line. Say 9 R:f3 Qa7+ and it looks dangerous. Perhaps someone with large tablebases can shed more light.

Well, here's Stockfish-1.7.1's take, at depth 41, starting with Rf3 Qa7+. It gives a +89 score for White:

What about 9 R:f3 Qg3! If 10 Qc6 then Q:f3 is a draw.

Ignore my last two attempts to refute the line (...Qa7+? and ...Qg3+?).

The right refutation is 9 R:f3 Qd1! What does Stockfish say to that?
