1...Qxh2+ 2.Kxh2








Black has pried open the h-file, albeit at the cost of her queen.  Now she forces even more material on her opponent!

2...Rh6+ 3.Bxh6 Rxh6+








Black has given up his queen and a rook, for only a bishop and a pawn in return.  Now, however, White has nothing to do but retreat - straight into the corner Black wants him in!
