Nice moves for White. A cruel but needlessly risky chess player could Bc5 and then use Rook to corner and eliminate black Rook, then slowly destroy the pawns, promote and entangle in a mating net.

It's stupid, but incredibly fun as you watch him squirm.

Rxe3 is not possible because black's king is in check.

The checking piece is the bishop, so the rook can take it.
