Solution & explanation

20... Bxh4 21. hxg7+ Kxg7 22. Rdg1+ Kh7

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to h4 keeps the pressure (+2.5).
  • Well found: king to g7 (+2.5).
  • Strong! king to h7 is the sharp choice (+2.8).
  • You win a piece — the knight.
  • If instead hxg7+, then Kxg7 and you win the knight.
