Rxbe is extremely tempting and seems to win quick. Very common pattern for a human. The trick is that they (1800 rated players) see 1... Rxb2 2.Nxb2 c3! winning, but they do not see 3. Rxb6!. Even if they see 3... c4!! (unlikely) they will certainly won't see 4. Rb4! This is the kind of problem where to have to ask a human the whole pv. It is very easy to get it right because of an incomplete analysis. Regards, Miguel
