  offramp: There is a fascinating moment in this game which deserves to be looked at.

Black played 31...Nxe5? and 32...Qe6? which lost a piece and very soon the game.

He could however have played

31...Rxe5 and if white had tried 32.Ne7+, then 32...Rxe7 33.Rxe7 Rxf2 34.Qxd5+ leads to this position:

6k1/4R1p1/1q5p/3Q4/1p4n1/6P1/5rP1/5RK1 b - - 0 34

What now is black's best move? It's a toughie!
