I saw this after I had moved! I calculated that if I take it, he also wins the d pawn and has an advantage in the ending, while if I don't take it, he still has problems penetrating on the queen-side - or anywhere else. I was dozy for allowing this move, I should of considered it. I put it down to complacency, and I knew at this stage I only had to draw and I had convinced myself that this position was drawn, and I let my guard down. I am very lucky that the position is still drawn, but at least I made the right choice in not taking the rook. | |||||||||
