White to move. Is this game a theoretical win for white or black? Or is it a draw?

lol, it would be a pretty horrible puzzle if that was the case. White started on the bottom of the screen. I think we've been playing too much topsy-turvy forum chess, haha!

I guess King 7C then. I find it hard to say what next because black could do anything :S

After Kc7, Rc5 will succeed in trading on the next move and only kings will remain. You're going to try to play for a win. You know that if your pawn is traded for my rook then it'll be a draw, so that has to be avoided. With every attempt I'll give you another hint.

Pawn C7. Castle check King C6, Castle cant really do anything.lol Pawn turns into queen? Good try! After Kc6, I'd play Rd1. Then on the next move I'd play Rc1+ and I'd skewer your queen! Your first move of c7 is correct, though. But now you know that you can't put your king on the c file.

Correct, but then I keep chasing you down the board and checking over and over! (Unless you go to the c file in which case I go to Rd1 in preparation to skewer your queen. Eventually we get to this point: s10.postimg.org/vdco9ss7d/meow.pngThen what do you do?
