NOTHING TO DO WITH CHESS!

CHESS TACTICS ANYONE?
1.
TRAPPER TRAPPED!
Montcada International 2016.7.3 im Vera Siguenas, Deivy(2492)—im Oliva Castaneda, Kevel(2493). Position after 30 moves. The last move was 30.Bh5!? Rg8-h8(?), completely overlooking White’s threat (30…Rg5! is unclear)
I am not sure what was going on in Black’s head, but he probably thought that White had simply overlooked his last move (if the Queen retreats then Black simply takes the Bishop)
WHITE TO PLAY AND CRUSH!
