i need to watch it about 10 times to make me stop laughing at does rook moves lol great video

@burt591 Yes I understand that, I did agree that taking the Rook was the best move at the moment. Actually taking with a Queen Qxe7. Not taking the Rook with Queen keeps black Queen in danger of being taken and later black plays pretty stupid moves losing again moment to take white Rook without danger.

@rpdigital17 and @tivrfoa if 1...Kxe7 2.Re1+ Kd6 3.Qb4+ Kc7 (if 3...Rc5 4.Re6+) 4.Ne6+ Kb8 5.Qf4+ Rc7 6.Nxc7

of course 2...Kd8 is worst for black 3.Ne6+ Ke8 4.Nc5+ Kf8 5.Nxd7+

Why didnt black just keep moving king back and forth and force a draw

[tivrfoa]

@kingcrusher could you answer @rpdigital17 ??

[tivrfoa]

@ChessNoir I also would like to know. I think black would be ok. :(

(4:00)  ... Kxe7

Qb4+ Ke8 (if ... Qd6 Qxb7+, if ... Kd8 Qf8+)

Re1+ Kd8

Qf8+ Kc7

Rc1+ Kb6

Qb4+ Ka6

Qa3+ Kb5

Qd3+ ... black can easily get a draw.

What I missed??? please someone ...

@rpdigital17 I'm really wondering that too.

4:00 Why black did not play Kxe7 !!??

Obviously he was stuck to the idea of saving material, but still.
