Solution & explanation

Main line

37... Nh5 38. g3 hxg3+ 39. Kg2 gxf2

Why it works

  • Great move! knight to h5 keeps the pressure (+4.5).
  • Well found: pawn to g3 (+4.6).
  • Strong! pawn to f2 is the sharp choice (+4.6).
  • You win a piece — the rook.
  • If instead g3, then hxg3+ and you stay on top.
