Default Re: Curtains vs PoG

R8e2 can be met by Be5. One possible line is something like:

... Rxa2
Bxf6 Qxf3+
Kxf3 Rxa1
Rxa1 gxf6

That's all just in my head, so may be inaccurate. We win the pawn back but White has a very good passed pawn and I'm not sure the endgame can be held.

What will White's response be to Ne4? Neither rook can move to d1. Rae1, with the idea of Be5 after Rxa2, would I think lead to a similar position as the line above. The conservative choice would be Be3 - what then?
