Solution & explanation
Main line
46... Rxg2+ 47. Kxg2 Ne3+ 48. Kh3 Nxf5
Why it works
- Great move! rook to g2 keeps the pressure (+4.3).
- Well found: knight to e3 (+4.2).
- Strong! knight to f5 is the sharp choice (+4.2).
- You win a piece — the rook.
- If instead Kxg2, then Ne3+ and you stay on top.
