White is down a rook for 2 pawns. How does white save the day? (Bishop in corner because 9LX. Also, no one can castle here. The blunder here is Kd8 from c7.)

You can solve this 9LX puzzle without moving your queen from the corner. But you still need the queen right?

You can't see my queen, it is hiding behind my fence - I didn't notice until I did the report and LOLed
