This is how the game ended. Black missed a defensive
resource overlooked by both players. Can you find it?

Clue: Check all Checks!

Black can draw this.

3. ...Ra1+ is a check.
After 4. Kf2, does Black have perpetual check?

edit: no, no luck this time. My undead friend found it, I wouldn't never have guessed it.
