Goring Gambit at Sardinia
Biel 2010 tactic
Its been a while since had a puzzle come up. This ones from today's game between GM Rodshtein and GM Negi in the ongoing very interesting young stars tournament Biel. Black (Negi) had a draw here with ...Ne1+ Kg1 (other king moves are worse for white, can you tell why?) ...Nf3+
But black blundered here with ...Rxd4. Can you see how white won after this?
