This position happened on board 5, round 6 of the Sydney International Open. Both players were probably in time trouble.

White has just played 37. Rf1. Think about it. Take your time. What would you play now as black?

When you think you're ready, put your mouse pointer over the black line and simply slide it.

 

 

Black played 37...Ra2?? and had to resign after 38.Qxa2!. A cold blooded move like 37...Qe7! would have left black with the advantage as 38.Rf8 Qxf8 39.Bxf8 Kxf8 actually favours black.
