Now <Chess Rview> (January 1941, p. 5) gives <18.Rfb1> instead of our 18.Rab1. CR simply has to be right about this; there is no way the rook can be on f1 in the subsequent play. Yes, it's a complicated correspondence game, but there are just too many opportunites for Black to take the rook safely or for White to resucue it. with profit.

But it's a draw! White's king can't go to c1 because of mate, and going to the third ran or e1 allow ...Qxg3+ and ..Qxb8, when Black's kingside pawns easily compensate for the exchange. So the White's king ust stay on d1 and d2, and can thus never escape the perpetual check on f1 and g2.
