1.Rd6 Bxd6
White has succeeded in interfering with the black queen's
protection of the g6-pawn.
2.Qxg6+ Kh8 3.Rxd6
Black's queen and both rooks are en prise (note the white queen
has the two rooks in double-attack). He is helpless to prevent
what follows - surrendering the queen is the best line available, but
too little too late I'm afraid.
3...Qxd6 4.Qxd6 Rxf4
If instead 4...exf4 then 5.Qh6+ Kg8 6.Qg6+
Analysis Diagram: after 6.Qg6+
...leaves White attacking both rooks and the king simultaneously.
5.gxf4 exf4
White has a queen for a rook, and an easy win.
