Queen vs Rook endgame study

  • 73... Kd3d4 74. Kc1b2 Qa4a5 75. Kb2c2 Qa5a2 76. Rb3b2 Qa2c4 77. Kc2b1 Kd4d3 78. Kb1a1
    Now Qa4+ here either runs into mate in 7 moves (after Ra2) or Black gets the 'Philidor position' after Kb1 Kc3, which is winning in all variations
    • 78... Qc4d4
      However this is also winning, as all next moves are forced
      • 79. Ka1b1 Kd3c3 80. Rb2c2 Kc3b3 81. Kb1c1 Qd4e3 82. Kc1d1 Qe3d3
        White resigns... Rd2 Qf1# would have been a cool finish
