A match decided in an endgame

By master

In the Short-Efimenko
match, which finished last Saturday in 
Mukachevo, the young Ukrainian player went straight into the lead in round one,
but saw Short catch up immediately in the next round. The match was finally
decided in round five - in a rook ending, in which the experienced English
player demonstrated his faultless technique to secure the win. In the
position in the diagram Short (White) was on the move and held on to his
advantage with an accurate manoeuvre. Can you work out his 38th move? Our ChessBase
Magazine endgame expert GM Karsten Müller has analysed the
decisive phase of this game.
