Solution & explanation

Main line

32... Rc1+ 33. Kg2 Nxf4+ 34. Kg3 Nxd5

Why it works

  • Great move! rook to c1 keeps the pressure (+6.5).
  • Well found: knight to f4 (+6.4).
  • Strong! knight to d5 is the sharp choice (+6.9).
  • You win a piece — the rook.
  • If instead Kg2, then Nxf4+ and you stay on top.
