White to move and win

White to move and win.  It's amazing sometimes how the most obvious move remains hidden to us, especially if we are overly-focused on our plan. One must always be alert for tactical opportunities.

1.Nf4








Also winning was 1.Bxf6 Qd5 2.Nf4 and White will save the bishop, remaining a piece up.

Meanwhile, back in the main line, the poor queen has nowhere to go!  In an act of desperation, she gets what she can in exchange for her life - a rook.

1...Qxh1+ 2.Nxh1








White has a queen for a rook & a pawn, a winning advantage.
