White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

10. Bxg7 f6 11. Bxh8 Kf8 12. Nc3

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to g7 keeps the pressure (+6.0).
  • Spot on — bishop to h8 (+6.1).
  • A natural move: knight to c3.
  • You win a piece — the rook.
  • If instead f6, then Bxh8 and you win the rook.
