The tactical motive

Double attack: one move creates two threats at once.

Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

34... Qxh2+ 35. Kxh2 hxg3#

Why it works

  • Great move! queen to h2 keeps the pressure (#1).
  • Well found: pawn to g3 (#).
  • The line ends in a forced mate in 2.
  • If instead Kxh2, then hxg3# and it is mate.
