Sandy Bells v Musselburgh. Edinburgh Chess League 2018
Last night at a league match. I agreed a quick draw with an
old Edinburgh Chess Club team mate so we could decantto
the bar to drink, play blitz and reminisce about the old days.
The match score was currently 2½ -1½ to Bells.
The Sandy Bells board 4 player saw this position
on board 3 (the Sandy Bells board 3 player was Black)
White to play...
...White is lost, so the board 4 player in a good
position agreed to a draw to clinch the match 4-2.
[FEN "8/1R4pk/1Q4p1/p4pq1/4p3/8/6PP/2rr2RK w - - 0 37"] 37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 38. Qb2+ Kh6 {Anything else and Black wins.}39. Qh8 {If it was me I would have jump from a bridge. Black was OK. He happily said it was OK to show it. Final score was 3-3.}

What if he doesn't go to H6 with king? Wouldn't it come down to perpet or maybe even the black queen can eventually interpose? For instance, Kf7 instead?
Then Cassia left the building.
