The tactical motive

Discovered attack: one piece steps aside, unleashing another's attack.

White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

37. Bxg5+ Kxg5 38. Rxf3

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to g5 keeps the pressure (+3.3).
  • Well found: rook to f3 (+3.6).
  • You win a piece — the rook.
  • If instead Kxg5, then Rxf3 and you win the rook.
