41. Ra8 |
White is already lost as this point, as black will slowly advance his pawns while continuing to confine the white king. However, Ra1, Ra3, or Ra4 will provide more resistance than random checks. | |||||

41... d3 42. Rg8+ Kf5 |
The check just pushes black's king where he wants it. Better would be Rd8 forcing black to be careful of the pawn. | |||||

43. Kf1 |
Hoping to prevent queening or escape the back rank. | |||||
