Hrastnik ♟️

Apparently this endgame is losing, which is not obvious to me at all. (And apparently not for Praggnanandhaa either.) See if you can find the series of moves to win the bishop.

@Hrastnik Oh - Prag for sure knew, that the endgame was lost after Rf7. It seems pretty obious, you are losing the h-pawn and there is no chance for counterplay any more.

@scheichsbeutel yeah, I guess the king is too exposed and there is no way to hold onto the h pawn in the middle of all those checks.

@Hrastnik Exactly - if you try to coordinate the rooks - you lose the h-pawn - and otherwise your rooks will be in trouble all the time. Of course - i would not ve won, but for a guy like Sindarov that was no problem. He really deserves it, he gave away half a point yesterday against Bluebaum. Maybe the next World Champion.
