Sorry, I should have looked for the old messages. I just went through on my own
looking for it. Queen for rook [looks to me like it] wins for black here, so I
did not even consider it. But I will look for the perpetual after that,
ignoring the queen for rook exchange. Even as it is, I don't see the perpetual
check (no, I'm not being a smartie -- I can't find it).
