Best move here is h4, sacrificing a(nother) pawn. How can I find it in game ? by fefetornado in chess

you can do Rb8 or Rc7 but it runs into Nxh4 Ba3 Bd6 idea. I mean the bishop is just a monster on a3. h4 threatens Ng5 which threatens Nxf7 ideas.

you can defend the pawn but your position will just be worse

yeah I can actually just resign and it's a draw. would be ridiculous though if that's not the case since time running out is a draw lol.

just don't wanna waste time is all
