Huschenbeth (2450) - Fier (2571), 2011
White to move

The German IM (White) resigned in this position. Do you think his decision was justified? Why?

	Wow!! Rd5 solves ev'rything and it's also not so difficult to see: there are only few ways to avoid checkmate. http://www.gianpierobiancoli.it

	Resigning Yes resigning was inevitable. White would lose their rook and would eventually lose, or it would be checkmate in 2 moves for black. http://twitter.com/bobrob03

	Resigning Rd5 ... If ... Be6 then Nf4 BxR NxB ... and black's c-pawn soon falls giving white a strong queen-side pawn majority. A possible draw with accurate play by white.

	Resigning Hmmm ... at first 1.Rd5 Be6 2.Nf4 and Rd1 or Bxd5 looks like an easy win. But the longer I looked, I noticed the weakness of the a6-pawn. I think the correct White ideas is to play the Knight against the a6-pawn, the King against the c3-pawn and pushing the a,b pawns to Queen. A Rook isn't the best defender against connected pawns. Of course if it were really easy would GM Natalia have asked the question? There is play left.

	chess writer The only try is 1.Rf5-d5, threatening mate on the move. Black should reply 1...Bc8-e6 (what else?)2. Nh5-f4. White emerges an exchange down, but some chances of achieving a draw.
