White to move and win

[need a hint?]     [Solution]     [archive]

 

White to move & win

1.Bxa6 Nxa6

1...Rxa6 2.Rxa6 Nxa6 3.Qb5+ transposes to the text move.

2.Rxa6 Rxa6 3.Qb5+

Double attack!  Black has to get out of check, so he doesn't have time to save the unprotected rook on a6.  White will remain a piece ahead, enough of an advantage to win the game.
