Solution & explanation
Main line
16... f6 17. Bb2 Nxf3 18. Qc3 Nxg1
Why it works
- Great move! pawn to f6 keeps the pressure (+2.6).
- Well found: knight to f3 (+2.9).
- Stunning! knight to g1 gives up material but you stand better (+2.9).
- You win a piece — the rook.
- If instead Bb2, then Nxf3 and you stay on top.
