It was tough but I have a special way of looking at problems...first I decide on a realistic goal...here that goal is perpetual because there doesn't seem to be any mates in the air (a little intuition here) so then I imagine a few positions where perpetual would be(unless I can only find one position) then I try to force that position...and the first move was easy..Ra6 was the only move even if this wasn't a problem but in a game.
