Solution & explanation
Main line
33... Rxg2+ 34. Kxg2 Nxf4+ 35. Kg1 Nxh5
Why it works
- Great move! rook to g2 keeps the pressure (+6.5).
- Well found: knight to f4 (+7.1).
- Strong! knight to h5 is the sharp choice (+7.8).
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead Kxg2, then Nxf4+ and you stay on top.
