Black first sacrifices the rook.} 1... Rxb2!! 2 Nxb2 {Then he continues with the obvious} 2 ... c3 {Now White can't play 3 Nd3 with the idea of Nc1, because c4+ wins. Therefore, only other try for White is the immediate rook sacrifice.} 3 Rb6! (3 Nd3 c4+ 4 Rb6 cxd3 {Black's pawns are unstopabble.}) {Now if Black captures the rook, Nd3-Nc1 is possible. Therefore} 3 ... c4!! {An amazing move. Black simply takes the d3 square away from the knight.} 4 Rb4! {The only White try. Convince yourself that all other rook moves lose immediately. And now what? Both 4... cxb2 5 Rxb2 and 4... c2 5 Rxc4 lose for Black. But he has a winning move.} 4 .... a5!! {An amazing move. Black simply takes the b4 square from the White rook. Now if 5 Rxc4 cxb2 and the pawn is unstoppable, since there is no Rb4. And on any other Rook move there follows c2 and Black pawn promotes. Fantastic!! P.S.
