Black to move
A strong tactical blow that eliminates White's bishop pair and leaves his pawn structure in ruins.
2.dxe5 Rxc1+ 3.Qxc1 Rxd3
With double threats at f3 and a3.
4.Qc8+ Bf8 5.Kg2 Qd4!
An ideal square for the queen, where it eyes e5 and f2 at the same time.
6.Rc1?
6.Ra2 would be better.
6...Rd2! 7.Rf1 g6
Preparing ...Kg7 and ...Bxa3 with a decisive advantage.

White to move
Exploiting the fact that 1.Qd4! Nxh1? 2.Rg6! with mate, White secures a decent square for his rook.
1...Qh5 2.Rd5 Qg6 3.Re1
Thanks to his extra pawn and active pieces, White is clearly better.
