⚪️Giri,Anish (2780)

🔸1-0
28.Rc5! [Giri intends to exchange Black's only active piece. Obviously, if Black trades off the rooks on the c5–square, he will lose a pawn without any compensation.]

33...Rh8!! [While it seems that Black should play on the kingside, but there is no promising attack actually there, so he decides to transfer the rook to the other side.]
