Solution & explanation
Main line
18... Qxg6 19. Nxg6 Rxf3 20. Bxd6 cxd6
Why it works
- Brilliant! The queen on g6 is a sacrifice that works — you stand better (+2.3).
- Well found: rook to f3 (+2.1).
- Strong! pawn to d6 is the sharp choice (+2.2).
- You win a piece — the queen.
- If instead Nxg6, then Rxf3 and you win the queen.
