White sees that by trading off both pairs of rooks the
black queen will end up on f8, just as in the following diagram.
1.Rxf8+ Rxf8 2.Rxf8+ Qxf8
Note that both exchanges were forced, Black had no choice but to
recapture. Now White combines my two favorite tactics - a knight
fork with a pin! 3.Nxg6+
Forking the king and queen; note that the h-pawn is pinned against the
black king and cannot recapture. After the exchange on f8, White
will have a queen for two minor pieces, and should win easily.
