Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

33... Rg2+ 34. Kxg2 Qxh5 35. h7+ Qxh7

Why it works

  • Great move! rook to g2 keeps the pressure (+4.0).
  • Well found: queen to h5 (+3.8).
  • Strong! queen to h7 is the sharp choice (+4.1).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Kxg2, then Qxh5 and you win the queen.
