Grob, Bishop Takes a1, Seat Vacant

Grob. Bishop takes a1. Seat vacant.

This sitting finished. Black won on time after the corner rook fell and the board stayed messy.

Move 9. After Qb4+.

White interposes Bd2. Black takes the rook on a1. The seat in the corner is empty.

The miss is hanging a1 while chasing the queen check. Answer the check without giving up the corner. Then play the position you still have.

I wish you the best of luck!!
