Karpov vs Kasparov, Game 41 In the common literature, it appears as truth that Karpov missed the winning a6! instead of Rxd1 on move 33, Game 41, in the first Karpov vs Kasparov match. But is the following position, derivate from above, really winning?
[Title &quot;Black to move&quot;]
[FEN &quot;8/P3R1pk/7p/8/r4p2/1N5P/1b3PP1/6K1 b - - 3 46&quot;]

If both sides make the best moves, it is a win for White or a draw?
White has to be precise, but I consider this position won.
The general plan Rd7 to prevent the bishop from reaching d4, bring the king to the center (net part of the plan, but this is always a good general plan and tends to restrict black's king), then find a path to get the knight to either b5 or b6.  Keeping in mind to not exchange too many pawns or to allow a perpetual, white should (IMO) easily win.
