Black to move. How should black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
I like the idea of 1) … Rh2, where if 2) Qxh2, Rxc3+ leads either to mate or at the very least a large material gain — e.g.,
3) bxc3, Qxc3+ and mate on the next, or
3) Kd2, Rc2+, followed by 4) …, Rxh2.
Black also picks up the Queen for a Rook if White replies 2) Qe1, Rc2+; 3) Kb1, Re2 (discovered check).
The material advantage in either of the lines above should win easily.
1. …Rh2
2. Bb6 Rxd2
3. Bxc7 Rc2+
4. Kb1 Rxc7
Nice! 2) Bb6 never even occurred to me, Alena. There’s a mating threat on d8 if Black tries Qc8. However, as you demonstrate, Black picks up a piece, and that should be enough for the win.
