This was a Game that I played here at RHP and It was forced Mate in 4 and I resigned, In this Situation what is Whites Best Move and...
Capturing a Piece is not the correct Answer...
Lol well the point was to delay mate, in this case youd pretty need an IQ of dirt not to be able to find mate as white but I'd move my remaining rook to check the king, pretty much hanging him, I've seen weirder things happen a Player taking his mind off the mate to take out a few extra men.
Thanks for the Replies guys
