White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

14. Kxf1 Qh2 15. Nc3 Rh6 16. Nd5

Why it works

  • Great move! king to f1 keeps the pressure (+2.7).
  • knight to c3 develops smoothly.
  • A natural move: knight to d5.
  • You win a piece — the bishop.
  • If instead Qh2, then Nc3 and you win the bishop.
