When you consider 'can mate' (although K+WcR vs K appeared to be a draw
after 30 seconds of blindfold analysis, another 30 seconds shows me a way
that might work. Danger from the '50 move' rule!),

When you consider 'can mate' and the new idea of King interdiction, the
WcR becomes hugely stronger than the WmR. However, White Ke4 WcR at h8,
Black Pa5 Kc4, White loses but a WmR at h8 should draw; a demonstration of
how sometimes mobility can be better.
