for more tactics! No Americans playing this year, never mind.
Did you read “Final Letter From Krush”? She stil thinks she can play a title match? And bothers Ana for not replying to junk mass Internet posts and open letters? Loser.

Why Re2? Sure, black must not take the knight immediately but can still do so after Rh1+, getting the rook out of the bishop’s range. So what is the idea of Re2?
Re1
1.Re2 Rh1+
(what else? 1…Rg8 2.Bg5+ 2.Kb3 Kxh5 white has winning advantage)
2.Kg3 Kxb2
3.Be1!+ Kc1
4.Kg2 Kd1
5.Rd2+! Kxe1
6.Rd4! Ke2
7.Kxh1 White wins
Nice!
There’s one more pointe.
6 … Rf1
7 Re4+ Kd1
8 Kxf1
