Fork: one piece attacks two targets at once — they can't both be saved.

White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

47. Rxg6+ Qxg6 48. Qxg6+

Why it works

  • Great move! rook to g6 keeps the pressure (+4.5).
  • Well found: queen to g6 (+4.6).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Qxg6, then Qxg6+ and you win the queen.
