A good exchange to facilitate an attack on the b7-pawn.
3...Bxf1 4.Kxf1 Rbc8 5.Qb3 Ne8?
This leads to material losses;
Black should have tried 5...Ng4 , challenging the strong knight on e5.
6.Nxb7! Rxb7 7.Qxb7! Qxb7 8.Rxc8 Kf8 9.Rb8! Qe7 10.Rxa8
With the inevitable threat of 11 Rcc8. White soon won.

Black to move
Disputing the open file.
2.Rc4 Ne3 3.Rcc1 N7d5 4.Rxc8?!
This doesn't help White, but it was difficult for him to find a constructive move.
4...Rxc8 5.Qf2 Nf5 6.Re2 Be3! 7.Qe1 Qb5
Now Black's pieces are very active.
8.Nd2 Qd3 9.Nf1 Rc2! 10.Rg2
10.Rxc2 Qxc2+ 11.Kh1 Qe4+! with similar consequences.
10...Rxg2+ 11.Kxg2 Qe4+! 12.Kh2 Bg1+
White resigned.

White to move
Intending Rh3 with attacking prospects, as well as Rd3 to increase the pressure towards d6.
1...Ne7 2.Rh3 Ng8
By a sensible knight manoeuvre Black managed to parry the Qh6+ threat, as well as any sacrifice with Nf5+. However, the knight is now passive on g8.
