Rb1 $3 {[pgndiagram] One of the most amazing moves I have ever seen. White solves the problem of the a-file simply by moving his rook away from the attack. He puts the ball into Black's court} (1. Rd1 {Would leave the rook prone to the bishop attack} Bxf3 2. Qe3 gxf6 3. Qh6 Bxd1 {[pgndiagram] And here again Black is slightly better after} 4. Nxf6+ Qxf6 5. Qxf6 Bh5) (1. Rc1 {Would leave the rook prone to the future Knight attack} Nxe2 2. Bxd8 Nxc1 { [pgndiagram] And white is lost}) (1. Rxa8 Qxa8 2. Qd1 {Is also possible, as after} Bxf3 3. gxf3 gxf6 4. Qc1 {[pgndiagram] White probably has a winning attack. It is a pity that this pragmatic solution also works because the beauty of the 1 Rb1 is slightly diminished}) 1... gxf6 (1... Bxf3 {Now doesn't help} 2. Qe3 gxf6 3. Qh6 {And wins}) (1... Nxe2 2. Bxd8 {Also wins}) 2. Nxd4 $1 {[pgndiagram] The point} Bxe2 (2... Bb4+ {Is more tricky defence} 3. c3 Bxc3+ 4. bxc3 Bxe2 5. Nc6 Bxd3 6. Rd1 Bxe4 7. Nxd8 Bxd5 8. Bxd5 Raxd8 {[pgndiagram] And here White still has some technique to show}) 3. Nc6 {[pgndiagram] And amazingly, Black's queen is caught and White remains a piece up.
