Black to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

26... Bd3 27. Nxd3 Rxf4 28. Nxf4 Rxf4

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to d3 keeps the pressure (+3.9).
  • Well found: rook to f4 (+3.9).
  • Strong! rook to f4 is the sharp choice (+4.3).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Nxd3, then Rxf4 and you win the queen.
