1.Nd6+
At first this might have seemed impossible due to the pawn on e6, and
the fact that in the original diagram no less than three different
pieces/pawns stood between the black king and the white queen.
But, seeing is believing! 1...Kd8
The knight can't be taken due to the disastrous effect of the
discovered check: 1...exd6 2.exd6+
Analysis Diagram: after 2.exd6+
Winning the queen. Also bad for Black is 1...Kf8
2.Rxf7+ Kg8 3.Bc4
Analysis Diagram: after 3.Bc4 When
once again a murderous discovered attack is threatened, this time
along the c4-g8 diagonal. Black's best here is 3...exd6 4.Rxd7+
d5 5.Rxc7 when he is down so much material as to make continued
resistance futile. 2.Nxf7+
White forks the king and the rook, winning enough material to ensure
eventual victory in the game.
