Pin: a piece can't move without exposing something more valuable behind it.

Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

15... c6 16. Qxf7+ Rxf7

Why it works

  • Great move! pawn to c6 keeps the pressure (+6.5).
  • Well found: rook to f7 (#6).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Qxf7+, then Rxf7 and you win the queen.
