White to move and win
[need a hint?]
[Solution]

White to move &
win
1.Qxc8+ Rxc8 2.Rxc8+
These moves have, for all practical purposes, all been
forced, which makes calculating the line a lot easier!
2...Kd7 3.Rd8+
What Black was counting on! The king must
move out of check, and that leaves the queen exposed. White
regains his material, and then some!
3...Kc7
White
can now exchange Rook for Queen, but there is a better continuation …
4.Rc1+
White wants to maintain the pin on the f8-bishop, if
possible, so he seeks to capture the queen with the other rook. Of
course Black can avoid this, but at quite a cost: 6.Rc8 d4 7.Bd8+ Ka7
8.Bc7 g5 9.Be5 Bg7 10.Rxh8 Bxe5 etc. +- 4...Qc6 5.Rxc6
Kxc6 6.Be7
Double-attacking the pinned bishop. White, already a piece
ahead, now wins another exchange, and will emerge a full rook ahead of
Black. This is a great example of what to do when you
have an opponent's piece pinned - hit it again & again, until it can't
be defended any longer. Remember: a pinned piece is a target!
