1...Rg8 - "Now the game is just about lost, as I  now have to deal with two pawns"

 Worse than that, White has a mate-in-one. 2.Rd7# 

 

 3...Rxg6 - "And I'm saved!"

 Actually, White still has a mate-in-one. 4.Ra5#

I know, but Max's rook took my rook making it a draw.

Kudos for scoring the swindle--long shots are worth it when you're losing! And this is a common stalemate trick in R+P vs R endings. I was just pointing out those tactical "wrinkles" since they weren't noted in the annotations.
