Daily Calculation Exercises - Day 63 | Catalan Rook endgame

I created 11 exercises from the game I played against an International Master in the Titled Tuesday Tourney. I played the Catalan opening and got an advantage and played well until the final move when I made a mouse slip and lost my rook.

How can white finish the game?

White played Rd1 instead of Ra4. How can black take advantage of it?
This was the final position of the game where I made a mouse slip with Rd7. What was the best move and plan for white? I suggest you to take 10-15 minutes to calculate.
How can black keep the balance? I suggest to use 10-15 minutes.
How can black win?
How can white win? Take 10-15 minutes!
How can black save the game? Please use 10-15 minutes!
How should white continue? Please take 1-15 minutes!
How can black save the game? Please take 10-15 minutes!
How can black get counterplay?
How can black equalize?
You can replay the full game with notes:

I wish you enjoyed the exercises. Please use the patterns in your games!

If you would like to improve your calculation I suggest you 2 great courses:

Tactics Ninja: Something unbelievable and funny. The editor Lily, being 1,200 on chess.com, raised her online rating by 100 points in 2 weeks, just by looking through the videos of this course when she was editing them.

Mating Matador: Mastering mating patterns is the next step to get better at tactics and become a dangerous attacker. It often bridges the gap between a strong attack against the opponent's King and victory. So once you become better at sniffing checkmates, your attacking skills naturally improve.
