Solution & explanation
Main line
19. Nd6+ Kf8 20. Bxf6 Bg2 21. Qxg2 c3 22. Qg7#
Why it works
- Best move. knight to d6 is exactly what the engine plays (#3).
- Spot on — bishop to f6 (#2).
- Precise: queen to g2 is the top choice (#1).
- Best move. queen to g7 is exactly what the engine plays (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 4.
- If instead Kf8, then Bxf6 and you win the knight.
