  1. Be3 is not a good move!

    After White plays Be3, Black can play Qxb2. Now Black is attacking White's Rook AND Queen, and White's King is not safe. White has a lot of problems!

    Black still needs to be careful, because it is difficult to checkmate White quickly. White doesn't need to give up, because Black might make a mistake!
