Solution & explanation
Main line
35. Bxg6+ Kd8 36. Qb8+ Kd7 37. Be8+ Ke7 38. Rf7#
Why it works
- Great move! bishop to g6 keeps the pressure (#3).
- Well found: queen to b8 (#2).
- Precise: bishop to e8 is the top choice (#1).
- Great move! rook to f7 keeps the pressure (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 4.
- If instead Kd8, then Qb8+ and you stay on top.
