Gambit Tiger 2.0 aggr. thinks Le4 is good (about -1.17 for black), but Sxd7 Sxd7
and then Le4 is even better (about -1.7, score at depth 13) from the very
beginning of analysis. Only the first several iterations, Le4 seems to be the
best. I think GT analysis may be correct here!

GT 2.0: Rh7, -1.33 for black

GT 2.0: Kg1, eval -0.56. So from GT view Rh7 is much stronger!

Re2 seems to be worse for white:

Gambit Tiger continuously thinks it wins with black! I do not agree that Sxd7 is
really bad for black in the position at move 33. GT likes it and all variations
seem to show that is a really interesting attacking (!) move! See:
