White still has to work for his meal.

  takebackok: Think a little Tuesday, 30. Rxg6+ & snag the loose rook, after that not a clue.

  LIFE Master AJ: Not much of a problem.

RxN/g6+ and Qe5+ and you are a piece ahead. A tactic that most class players should be able to find.

Sep-10-24  saturn2: The Rc7 is unprotected so Rxg6 followed by Qe5
Sep-10-24  TheaN: Not too difficult a Tuesday, <30.Rxg6+ fxg6 31.Qe5+ with 32.Qxc7 +-> except for the fact there is a somewhat hidden tactic in the position for White I devoted most of my energy to at first.

Nxe6+ with Rd8. That doesn't work though: 30.Nxe6+ fxe6 (Kxf6 doesn't work after 31.Qf5+ +-) 31.Rd8? -+ (Rxg6+ with Qe5+ now draws but then there's no point to saccing the knight):

The winning move for Black here is perhaps somewhat surprising. The other two main moves draw.

Sep-10-24  geeker: Excellent point, TheaN. I also got sidetracked on the 30. Nxe6+ try.
Sep-10-24  Allderdice83: I had 30. Rxg6+ right away and was thinking, "Is this all that there is?" But it's enough. I also had 34. Re1 instead of 34. Rd2. On 34 ... Qc2 or Qxa2, I had 35. Qe7 Rc8 (or anywhere) 36. Qxh4+ Kg7 37. Qe7+ and now 37 ... Kh6 38. Re3 (38 ... Qa1+ or Qb1+ 39. Kh2), threatening 39. Rh3#, and the only way I see to stop mate is, in the line after 34 ... Qc2, to give up the queen with 38 ... Qd1 39. Rh3+ Qh5. Or 37 ... Kg8 38. Ne5 threatening 39. Qf7+ Kh8 Nxg6#

Or, if 34 ... Qe8, then 35. Re3 g5 36. Ne5 and keep putting on the squeeze, or maybe better just 36. Qxa7. Or 35 ... Qf7 36. Qxf7 Rxf7 wins for White.

Sep-10-24  King.Arthur.Brazil: The King thought in the simple combination: 30. Rxg6+ fxg6 31. Qe5+ Kg8 (or Rf6) 32. Qxc7 with an extra N.

  Diocletian: Yes, I saw the unprotected rook and the nice square e5 where White's Queen can set a discovered check and attack the Rook at once - no more thinking, move!

But I had to wonder how Black got into such a mess and looked at his previous move 29...Kg7 stepping into the discovery and ignoring the rook...pretty careless.
