White to move and win. Is the key to the win: A) Rf7 or B) Rg4 or C) Kf3 or D) Ra5?
--Since the chessboard has 32 men at start, let us say the endgame begins when there are 1/3 of men left on the board, and middlegame begins when there are 2/3 of men left on the board. This study has 12, so it appears to fall into endgame section (3-12 men), in contrast to middlegame which has from 13-22 chessmen on the board, and contrasting opening section which has 23-32 men.--
Why I won't put the solution to this study on this page--I got bored with doing all the work for those who supposedly would like to learn chess. I gave a big clue: 4 likely moves. I didn't solve this by using a computer. -well, that part changed:

6-23-17 UPDATE: stockfish 6 claims at depth 20 that A) is correct, giving it 1.25 pawn advantage. Move D) in contrast has only .4 pawn advantage according to stockfish 6. I did not choose A) myself. As for C) this line as played by stockfish went to a draw as did moves A) and D). Then I tried another possiblility, E) Rgg5 which also went to draw by stockfish. I ran it at depths 20-26.
