Simply Rxh2+! should do the trick.

Nice tactic Ryan. You the man!
ReplyDeleteAlso g5!? tricky yes, but whites reply isn't forced by any stretch of the imagination, in fact a more interesting continuation would've been Bxd6 when either Qxd6 or cxd6 would've been followed by rxf6 and ...h5 perhaps, i don't think white is better (by any stretch) but he does have more to do...

I agree. But from whites perspective after g5!?, its tough to see ...Rxh2! for your opponent two moves deep. I suppose, from an intuition that, opening the h file for black will be enough compensation for a pawn might be a motif not to go for it.
ReplyDeleteNice tactic... but I disagree in reference to the difficulty in seeing the future possibilities! All of my students would gladly appreciate questions 7 & 8 on the 12 question checklist... also question 12!
