Rxf7 is probably a losing move because of Qc1 so I am not sure if it is an amazing move and I suspect that the real amazing move was not played in the game. I guess that Rxf7 is not a blunder because all moves are losing for white. Gandalf4.32h can find Qc1 but needs more than 30 minutes on pIII850(64 Mbytes hash tables) Deep Fritz cannot find Qc1 even after 2 hours on the same hardware and prefers Kxf7 that is probably a bad move that does not win. Note that Deep Fritz can find Rxf7 in few minutes. Another alternative to check after Rxf7 is also the move Rf8. I did not check if it is winning for black. Uri
