| Maz: after nf3+ qxf3 qxf3 rxg7 kf8 rf1 qxf1 kxf1 black plays rd8 followed by rxd3. e2 and rd1 is a huge threat. i don't think black is losing there, probably he's winning. but not as clear or simple as e2. |

why not nd7 first followed by rxe4
then if black tries rd8 to pin the knight, rxe6 tactics should win |

| Maz: if he ever tries f5, leave the e pawn where it is. for example hxg4 h5 f5 h6 (he can throw in f4+ kf2 here, doesn't matter if he does or not) kf6 e5+ and one of them promotes. |
