Rd5
1.Rd5 and white threatens mate
with 2.Nc3 followed by Rd3
If black takes the rook
1…Kxd5 then Nc7+

Tiger Woods Wins Again!
More prosaically:
1.Rd5 Qa5
2.Nc3+ Qxc3
3.bxc3 Kxd5
4.g4
… and wins the pawn ending.
hi everyone
Rd5 Qa8! (Qb7? Rd4+ Ke3 Kf1)
Kf2! Qxd5 (Kxd5?? Nc7+)
Nc3+ and the pawn ending is won anyway 🙂
