Black can actually delay quite a bit with 3... e5+ where interposing with the Bishop allows Rd2, with the pawn (objectively best) Re3 pinning the rook and moving the king allows Rxe4+ followed by Rf4.  Despite this, his fate is all but sealed.

A closer look shows that rather than pinning the rook with Re3, black can actually force an exchange of rooks after 4. g4 with 4... Bxg4+ 5. Kxg4 Rg2+.

TheGrobe,

Thanks for you comments.

Here's some delay potential!
