Solution & explanation
Main line
29. fxg3 Kxd7 30. Qb7+ Kd8 31. Bxa5+ Ke8 32. Qe7#
Why it works
- Best move. pawn to g3 is exactly what the engine plays (#3).
- Spot on — queen to b7 (#2).
- Precise: bishop to a5 is the top choice (#1).
- Best move. queen to e7 is exactly what the engine plays (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 4.
- If instead Kxd7, then Qb7+ and you stay on top.
