After Rxh5 gxh5, we have 15 pieces on the board and I guess we will not see a tablebase analysis for this as long as we are alive. When Kozirev played 28.Rxh5!!, he saw that he will win knight and rook (a3) for his rook, and black will have no officers at all while white has one rook and wins easily. This is the point. If you cannot accept that this is an outstanding example of chess beauty, you probably should quit chess at all. Statistics about 1-0 and 0-1 are not chess, moves like Rxh5!! are chess. A good engine may not find Rxh5 but still win, but the excellent engine will find Rxh5 and win brilliantly! Yours truly Paul J. Sacral
