Solution & explanation
Main line
10. Bxg6+ hxg6 11. bxc5 bxc5 12. Qb1
Why it works
- Brilliant! The bishop on g6 is a sacrifice that works — you stand better (+2.4).
- Spot on — pawn to c5 (+2.3).
- A natural move: queen to b1.
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead hxg6, then bxc5 and you win the queen.
