Black to move
Forking the enemy queen and knight in order to force a queen exchange, thus pre-empting a potential white attack.
2.Qxg5 hxg5 3.Ng3 Ba6!
The exchange of bishops will make the e5-pawn more vulnerable.
4.Bxa6 Rxa6 5.Nde4?!
Preferable was 5.Nc4 Rd5 6.Rd1 Ra7 7.Rxd5! exd5 8.Ne3! with chances for a draw.
5...Rd5! 6.Nxg5 Nxe5
Thanks to his sounder pawn structure Black is better in the endgame.
