Nunn's Chess Endings Vol 2-Rook Endings-The 5th Rank Cut-Off

Nunn's Chess Endings Vol 2-Rook Endings
The 5th Rank Cut-Off

Sadly, I have owned this fine book for a couple of years and not dared to open it.

Nunn's Chess Endings Vol2

Here is one of the games (Jussupow,Artur-Tseshkovsky,Vitaly Moscow 1981)  Nunn used to illustrate the 5th rank cut-off technique. I looked at the whole game to get a better idea of what happened and improve my endgame knowledge. 

Here is more on Jussupow



Here are my findings.

Black has an active king+rook and is pushing the c-pawn for the win. What do you recommend for black now?

I have been checking games usually but recently have been neglecting tactical work. Now I'm going through this book which has some exercises in ch9.

GM Nunn won a fabulous game against GM Sokolov in the Dubai Olympiad 1986 by attacking the king.

Here is the feature game and my notes to solution.

Nunn,J (2590) - Sokolov,And (2620)

Sicilian [B54]

Dubai (ol), 1986

Position 1
Black lags in development and is uncastled which is the general signal to look for an attacking continuation. What do you recommend for white now?
