Tactics from Derek Wilder


Derek Wilder (1711) played a sensational tournament at the National K-12 Championships finishing with 5/7. This is a position from his 7th round game against Daniel Rohde (1891). Here Derek is white and black is about to play Rf5 trapping the white queen. How did Derek save this position?
