Black to move and win
White seems to have everything covered - but with a
simple, innocuous looking exchange, Black wins a piece, and with it
the game.
1...Nxe3+ 2.fxe3 Qd5
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
What a difference! Now Black attacks the
unprotected and pinned knight (!) and double attacks the rook as well.
However, White has foreseen this far into the combination and figured
that his following move maintains the balance. Black has a small
surprise in store for him though...
3.Rxc6 Qxe4+
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
This White hadn't counted on - the capture with check.
Now Black wins the rook and will remain a piece ahead, enough of an
advantage to win the endgame.
