???? The Endgame Mistake of Round 3, selected by IM Michael Rahal. #FIDEWorldCup
Although she was close to losing most of the game, Anna Muzychuk's willpower helped her hang on, arriving at the position in the diagram.
White has an extra pawn and should be winning, but low on time, the former Women's World Champion Anna Ushenina missed her last chance and played 52.h7??
(52.Rh5! followed by the advance of the h-pawn was the way to go)
52...Rb1+! 53.Kf2 Rb2+! 54.Kg1 Rb1+ 55.Kg2 Rb2+ 56.Kg1;
by now, Ushenina had realized that 56.Kh3?? would lose to 56...g4+ 57.Kh4 Rxh2#.
Muzychuk played 56...Rb1+ and the game ended in a draw.
