The tactical motive

Discovered attack: one piece steps aside, unleashing another's attack.

Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

17... Rxf2 18. Rxf2 Qxg4

Why it works

  • Great move! rook to f2 keeps the pressure (+3.9).
  • Well found: queen to g4 (+4.1).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Rxf2, then Qxg4 and you win the queen.
