I came across a game between British GMs John Nunn (left) and Mark Hebden from the recently concluded World Seniors Championship. There was a very neat finish to the game, and so I thought I’ll share it.
In a lost endgame position, Hebden tried his last chance with …Rg1:
How should White react?
A) Kxg1 – Capture Black’s Rook, or
B) Kf3 – Decline the sacrifice?
Happy Solving! Enjoy!

That’s correct, Priyav.
Good Job!
Hi Akshat! I have been following your blogs for quite a while now and I really love them! Keep them coming !
As for the solution, I don’t think I should take any credit as I had seen the game already, but I’ll take it.
55…(deleted to avoid being a spoiler)…to win.
Wishing you all the luck in future,

You’re right, Shreyam!
