He felt like singing again.

I meant resign* thanks for the catch

Because he was down a Rook and a Pawn

Black appears to be up a full rook & a pawn. Black has the safer king. Black has a better pawn structure. f3 & h3 are both under fire.

@mango_V1 but he had a queen and it was probably anyone's game still?

@General-__-Advance Why safer king? It seems unclear not to mention the lady is powerful compared to the KING

Don't get me wrong, it may be possible to work some magic and win. I say safer king because the three black pawns in front of the king havent moved & a rook controls the back rank. White has 3 pawn islands and doubled pawns in front of the king. Theres lots of checking opportunities for black & white may struggle to avoid more pawns being lost. That's just my humble opinion on this position.

@General-__-Advance but at the same time it just takes one check to kill the black...
