It’s in this position that things start to get really tense, with Rapport thinking he can sac the knight in exchange for some checks on Shakh’s king. that’s just not the case. Shakh takes the knight and evades the checks, then Rapport completely loses by attacking Shakh’s queen with his bishop.
Completely ignoring this like a boss, Shakh play rxh2, sacking the rook, leaving the queen hanging, and forcing checkmate in 10.
One of the most brutal and beautiful things I have ever seen on the board.
