Solution & explanation

Main line

27... Ng3+ 28. hxg3 hxg5+ 29. Qh7 Rxh7+

Why it works

  • Great move! knight to g3 keeps the pressure (+4.4).
  • Well found: pawn to g5 (+5.1).
  • Strong! rook to h7 is the sharp choice (+5.7).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead hxg3, then hxg5+ and you stay on top.
