Evans–Reshevsky — Save the Draw

Objective: Task goal: save the draw from a seemingly lost position.

Position and task condition

White appears completely lost: only a rook and a few blocked pawns remain against Black's huge material advantage. Resignation looks natural, but the position contains a remarkable defensive resource. Do not try to win — find a way to make it impossible for Black to win.
