Simple Deflection

Black to move

Black's pawn will promote. Alas, White managed to win this pawn and the game.

    Otherwise white both loses the rook and allows the promotion, or am I reading that wrong?

    1. That's correct Jeremy. I saw that it was there, was disgusted with my opponent for missing it, and moved my rook to a different rank on the next turn.
