The tactical motive

Discovered attack: one piece steps aside, unleashing another's attack.

Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

24... Ng3+ 25. hxg3 Qxc2

Why it works

  • Best move. knight to g3 is exactly what the engine plays (+5.5).
  • Well found: queen to c2 (+5.4).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead hxg3, then Qxc2 and you win the queen.
