  Gilmoy: Too hasty: <22.Rd3??> Qxa1+ :)

So White moves the QR first. 20.Rac1 (now d4 is poisoned, and Nb6-b7 are skewerable, so not Qb2) Qa5 21.Rc7, or 20.Rab1 Qc7 21.Rb3, with compensation. With a 3-on-1 K-side attack in progress, White would gladly sac a pawn for a rook lift.

Rubinstein agreed that his h7 was too weak for any pawn-grubbing.
