HeHe not even some weak humans like me didn't understand this rook sacrifice...
I came across this exact position of the dragon, in a human tournament, and was
very tempted to play Rxh5, but in the end I didn't find the courage to do it....
in the end I lost the game. My opponent after the game told me that he looked in
the chess encyclopedia, and the sacrifice was given as winning for white! Argh!
