The black queen is overworked: she guards the knight on d5, and also helps
to protect e7. Can she do both? How can White exploit the
situation?
1.Qxd5 Ra6
If 1...Qxd5 then 2.Nxe7+ Kh8 3.Nxd5 regains the queen,
and White is still a piece up, enough to win the game.

Final Position After the king moves out of check, White
will withdraw the knight from harm's way via d5. Black
safely resigns here because he is a piece down, more than enough to
win the game at higher levels of competition. Some players,
especially beginning players, may want to continue the fight from this
position; it can be educational, and who knows - your opponent might
get bored or overconfident and blunder the piece back to you!
