Black to move & win
White has just played 1.Nc4xe5, discovering an attack
on the black queen while snatching a free pawn, or so White thought.
Black has other ideas!
1...Nxe5
Black is leaving his queen en prise! But hold on
- he has a trick up his sleeve. He's seen further than White
has. What he saw was that White's best would be:
2.Kg3
Why not take the queen you ask? Because
after 2.Rxc5 Black has a killing knight fork: 2...Nexf3+ 3.Bxf3 Nxf3+
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
Analysis Diagram: after 3...Nxf3+
Black gets the queen back, and with it the point!
After 4.Kg3 Nxd2 White is a bishop down and has no compensation for
the missing piece.
