Solution & explanation
Main line
26... fxg3 27. Bxg3 Bxf3+ 28. Kg1 Bxd1
Why it works
- Great move! pawn to g3 keeps the pressure (+3.3).
- Well found: bishop to f3 (+3.5).
- Strong! bishop to d1 is the sharp choice (+3.4).
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead Bxg3, then Bxf3+ and you stay on top.
