  fredthebear: 30...Re6 to save the exchange does not work because it allows penetration after the trades sequence on the e-file with 33.Qb8+ forking b6. Thus, Black stays put Rf6 and drops the exchange to prevent back rank penetration but White gets to keep control of the e-file.

Queen penetration becomes the hallmark of this game, with the re-castled White king being safer behind a closed diagonal after changing sides than the bare black king. Weak squares are aptly named.
