Solution:

1. Nc3 Rh5 + 2. f5! Rxf5 + 3. Nb5 + Rxb5 + 4. Kxb5 Rxa1 5. Re7 + Kb8 6. a7 + Ka8 7. Ka6! Rxa3 + 8. Kb6 Rb3 + 9. Ka6 Rb8 10. axb8 ~ Kxb8 11. Kb6 Kc8 12. Kc6 Kd8 13. Kd6 g2 14. Ra7 Kc8 15. Kc6 Kb8 16. Ra1 h2 17. Rb1 + Kc8 18. Ra1 Kd8 19th Kd6 Ke8 20. Kxe6 Kf8 21. Kf6 Kg8 22. Ta8 + Kh7 23. Ta7 + Kh6 24. Ta8 Kh5 25. Kf5 Kh4 26. Kf4 Kh5 27. Kf5 drawn.
Without the introductory sacrifice 2. f5, the f4 square would be blocked at the end; similarly, with 7. Kb6 later the undefeated pawn on a3 would be an obstacle for the white rook.
