The given position is from Mortensen - Karlsson, Esbjerg 1989, with white to play unable to sense/find the danger in the position after h6:

2. Rh3? loses to Rxf3 3. Rxf3 Nb4 4. axb4 Ba4 5. Kb1 (5. Kd1 Qxc2+ 6.
Ke1 Qd1#) 5... Qxc2+ 6. Ka1 Bb3 and regardless of the line white (Rf5/Qe4 instead of a king move) chooses, their king will be checkmated. White should move the king instead of Rh3 so as to be able to defend c2.

A chess player benefits from a sense of danger.
