Black to move — find the best continuation
Solution & explanation
Main line
27... Qxg3+ 28. hxg3 Nf3+ 29. Kf2 Nxd4
Why it works
- Brilliant! The queen on g3 is a sacrifice that works — you stand better (+2.4).
- Well found: knight to f3 (+2.6).
- Strong! knight to d4 is the sharp choice (+2.4).
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead hxg3, then Nf3+ and you stay on top.
