Black resigned.

Creating new threats, such as ...Re6 and ...b5-b4, before White consolidates by Kf2 and Rhe1.

2.Nxb5 Re6 3.Qa3 Nxg3+ 4.hxg3 Rb8 5.Nc3 Ng4! White is also under pressure – Short.

Now all Black's pieces are active, and the white king remains exposed.

Preparing ...Rbe6 with a clear initiative.

Exploiting the pin on the h-file in order to achieve a favourable exchange.

White's attack has been neutralized.

5.Nxb5 Qb6 6.Rf1 Be5!? – Salov.

Thanks to his more compact pawn structure Black is slightly better.
