General concensus is that I was losing, but hey, never say die...
This is a trial article, but does show some of the traps that occur in an end game.
I think black would have won if he'd moved his king to C7 instead of blocking with his rook. I think the value of this post is not in solving any puzzle, but in recognising that while what happened was good for white, correct play for black would have seen him queen first and been able to gain momentum with the subsequent check. In this case, black gained the momentum.
can be that a blunder..but the king nowhere to run
