    Yes, this is a good move for White. White only has a Rook and Black has a Queen, so White will be happy with a draw.

    After Rh1, the Black Queen is pinned, so it will be captured. After Black trades the Queen for White's Rook, it will be a draw. A King can't checkmate another King!

    1. Rh1 Qxh1
    2. Kxh1

    Draw!
