The next position is obviously a won endgame for White: I am up a Bishop and a pawn in a R+B vs R ending. The game could go on for a while though, taking pawns and trying to queen one and all that stuff. But I have a faster way to end the game. What is it?
White to move
To see the solution, just highlight the hidden text below.
====================
Solution:
29. Rf8+ Rg8 30. Rxg8+! Kxg8 31. e6!! : the entombed King. Now his King can only go to either h8 or g8. I don't even have to use my King because I have a 3-2 pawn majority on the Queenside; I quickly activated my pawns, and my opponent was forced to resign 4 moves later, as it was mate in 3.
