Solution & explanation

Main line

44. Kxg7 Kd3 45. bxc3 bxc3 46. Rc1

Why it works

  • Great move! king to g7 keeps the pressure (+4.9).
  • Well found: pawn to c3 (+5.3).
  • Strong! rook to c1 is the sharp choice (+5.8).
  • You win a piece — the rook.
  • If instead Kd3, then bxc3 and you win the rook.
