White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

13. Bxg7+ Kg8 14. Rxc8+ Ndf8 15. Nxe7+

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to g7 keeps the pressure (+11.1).
  • Well found: rook to c8 (+11.5).
  • Precise: knight to e7 is the top choice (+11.7).
  • You win a piece — the rook.
  • If instead Kg8, then Rxc8+ and you win the rook.
