3:40 can't he just trade rooks and gobble all the black pawns? Why did Ben even allow the counterplay?

[@Keneo1]

That’s exactly what he did? I think he saw he could safely move his pawns up a bit before starting to gobble, something that indeed would make me a bit nervous giving the opponent to much close too queening. but I think Ben just saw it as it was
You hear him calculating if he should allow the opponent to queen but mate him anyway, I think it would have been funnier ;)

​@@Keneo1 Yeah he traded rooks but let black have 2 past pawns, my point was he could save himself some trouble. Of course he probably did it for entertainment purpose though, I don't think he would miss it.
