Solution & explanation
Main line
25... Qxh3+ 26. Kg1 Rxg6+ 27. Qxg6+ hxg6
Why it works
- Great move! queen to h3 keeps the pressure (+5.5).
- Well found: rook to g6 (+6.2).
- Strong! pawn to g6 is the sharp choice (+6.1).
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead Kg1, then Rxg6+ and you win the knight.
