Rxd4 does not deserve a !! point. The move was flawed, and why comuters will not play this move. It gains white nothing with the correct 24..Kb6!. When many of us found Kb6 showing Rxd4 gains nothing. This game lost any hope of being the best game ever played. Computers today find Kb6 very quickly.
