Fork: one piece attacks two targets at once — they can't both be saved.

Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

23... Bxg2+ 24. Nxg2 Qxd2

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to g2 keeps the pressure (+3.6).
  • Well found: queen to d2 (+3.7).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Nxg2, then Qxd2 and you win the queen.
