White to move. Can you find the best continuation for White?
Source: Chess Today
Is it Re6 Ne6 Bd5 and there are just too many things for black to defend? (including the passed pawn)
Magnus played Rxe6!! Seeing that in a blitz game isn’t bad!
Move 16. vs Movsesian was not bad either.

I found it an easy puzzle though- Re6 was the first move I tried- but I guess we have the advantage of knowing that there is such a knock-out move to look for.
Mind you one might be more likely to play like that in a blitz game where you can go all out for brilliancy and and throw caution to the wind (ofcourse half the time you might be throwing away pieces for nothing but initiative is even more important in blitz)
