This is an interesting response. A rook move to line up the power for mate would have opened things up for me to get back into defensive position, maybe collect some more pieces. I was afraid you would do this, and almost decided not to do that Queen check on your King, or take the pawn.
Aside from the trivial back and forth dance with a move of my rook to interpose, repetitively, I have got to move
Ka1
You didn't have that many options. I would have gone on the attack as well. But it just so happens that I'm really good, so...

I'm in no position to say you're "not that good". So for me the question is whether to back my Rook up to my King, in which case you will need to get your Rook out to finish the game. . . . another check, or two, another irrelevant piece or two. . . . but can I save my King?

It's the only thing to do. . .. . for me, at least.

edit. . . . two minutes later. . . . . wait, it's not?
So the Rook can't check you because you'll simply take it and mate. If I can't prevent you from turning the corner in front of your paws, you can interpose the Rook and still have a one move checkmate by your Queen.
But if I can take any position with my Queen that's protected by a pawn, and fork your King and Queen, and then take your rook in a move that also checks you, I will win.
I might also win if I can check you with my Queen from behind, forcing you to expose your Queen unprotected when you move your King out of check.
I might also win if I just trade out Queen and Rook, by advancing a pawn in an open file while your King can't get in front of it or take it.
I might also force a draw if you do Kc8/Kd7 rocker, but you could prevent that with a Rook interposition, maybe.
I might win also if I can check you from behind if you're too close to my two pawns. . . .
But if you can evade check even once without losing a mate threat position, I'm cooked.

Another draw in WCC. Magnus still up a game with only left two to play. Anand again played 1.d4 and Carlsen responded with the Grunfeld Defence which leads to sharp play for both sides. Carlsen, who trained with Kasparov as a teenager, played the Prins Variation, a favorite of Kasparov's back when he was dominating chess. Anand and Carlsen both played solid with no mistakes and agreed to a draw when Anand could not turn his slight pressure into an advantage. Tomorrow is a rest day. Game eleven is Sunday and, if necessary, the final game will be played Monday.

If you're going where I think you're going, I must admit I've never seen a haven like that in chess before.

I wasn't really sure about the best place for the bishop, I also thought about d1.
you still don't know where I will set up a defensive stand.
