Ron could have other legal moves, but they may serve only to
throw the game to White.  Actually, to my POV this *must*
be the case: If Ron has only one legal move, then it isn't a
sacrifice, it's a forced move.  Sacrificing means choosing
"what is right over what is easy."  Ron voluntarily choses
the move that expels him from the game, but that aids his
friends!  (Foreshadowing of things to come regarding Ron's
role in VWII?!)
