Cappelle La Grande 2013 Rd9-Papp,P(HUN)
Here is Petra Papp’s tough rd9 game.
Papp held her own in the early part of the game playing aggressive and creative defence. In the ending, small inaccuracies cost the game.

White has just infiltrated with 38.Rh7 and it is up to black to find an accurate defence. How should black defend?
The pawn structure says it all. How should white proceed?
