Can anybody explain to me why the white resigned her? (in the last move)
duck_and_cover
36.Kb1 Re8 37.Rc2 Re1+ 38.Rc1 Re2
Sorry I'm like a very begginer 2 questions in this part why 37 Rc2
and what if the king moves to a1?
Sred
...Re8 threatens ...Re1+ (also if White plays Ka1). White plays Rc2 to answer ...Re1+ with Rc1 (impossible if White plays Ka1, that's why duck gave the more interesting Kb1 variation).
C-nack
If 36. Ka1 it's mate in 8, if 37. Ka1 it's mate in 2.
Rc2 blocks mate after Re1 white goes Rc1.
After 36...Re8, Black threatens Re1#. 36.Kb1 and 37.Rc2 is the only way to prevent it (letting aside Queen/Rook sacrifices to delay checkmate).
Thanks for the explaination guys I get it now :)
