I believe that is a win for Black, but this is a fact: It is _not_ an
easy win. Black has to sweat a little bit more.
Another fact is that in the game White did not chose the most
stubborn defense which is 5.Re2 rather than 5.Rb1
It has been analyzed a little bit here on the forum and it was not shown a
clear path to victory. Many lines has been shown that seemed to suggest that
Black still has advantage but there were far from resignation.
I believe that black wins but I did not have have the time to analyze the line
that I believe it wins.
Interestingly, Fritz does not see Re2 in the pv and only Rb1 which makes
a little bit suspicious what it sees.

Miguel
