Instructive game 10:- Karlsson, Lars–Narciso Dublan, Marc

While studying Nimzowitsch–Larsen Attack (A06) i found this position in a game.
Black just played Nd5 and White answered with Rxe4 , was this move justified .
  After thinking check the game and the analysis below at move 28

A game that I liked (ChessBase 12)
