Black replies with Rh4 though, right? It's a free Rook, but you don't get to steal Her Majesty.

rh4 is bad, since white gets +5, instead of just letting the queen die, leaving white with 4 points.

The layer of defence is actually futile. Her Majesty will still remain captured.
So this game was a 2|1 bullet game. I had expected the game to come from blitz or rapid.

If ... Rh4, then Rxh4 takes the free rook AND renews the pin.

I guess I didn't see that the Queen is still pinned after Rxh4.
