Here the newspaper gives Black's move as '24...PxP ch.' followed by 'Resigns'. There is no legal pawn capture on the board so we're left wondering what happened. One possibility is that Black tried to play 24...fxg2 but, on being informed it was illegal, resigned the game. A second interpretation (which I favour) is that Black played Qxg2+ and, before White could reply, noticing that he was about to lose a piece, resigned.} (24... Qxg2+ 25. Qxg2 fxg2 26. Rxd7 {simply leaves Black a piece for a pawn down and with a hopeless position.}) 1-0
