Now, Rxd1 looks like it leads to a perpetual by White.
...e5
fxe5 Rxd1 looks like it may lead to a win for white.
Any other moves for black?
then
5. Rxd1 Nd6
6. Rd5+ (6. g4?! leads to a perpetual)

Rxd1 Ne6
g4! and now Kh4 leads to mate, but K-h6 doesn't.
I'm not sure that Ne6 is the best move. What about Qc8?

Ne3.
6...e5
Perhaps this is a good time to mention that, although the source claims White wins, he admits there may be some holes in his analysis because of the sheer complexity of the position. Perhaps we have found a couple.

Qc8 looks very strong, but for awhile I was looking at Qc7!?
I will give you this, there is a lot of life in a position that at first glance looks dead lost!

you're down a piece and no mate in sight.
Now if there is anyone out there who would like to point out why 2...Ng7 is not an excellent defense for black they should offer some proof. That means don't assume your right (giving one move and expecting everyone to applaud isn't my idea of analysis)
