Solution & explanation
Main line
16. Bxg7 Rxg7 17. Rh3 Bd6 18. Kb2
Why it works
- Brilliant! The bishop on g7 is a sacrifice that works — you stand better (+2.9).
- Spot on — rook to h3 (+2.6).
- Precise: king to b2 is the top choice (+2.3).
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead Rxg7, then Rh3 and you win the queen.
