- 1...Rxh4?
expecting White to play 2. Qxh4, when Black retains a material advantage. However, White has a zwischenzug:
- 2.Qd8+!
which is followed by
- 2...Kh7
- 3.Qxh4+ Kg8
- 4.Qxg3
and White has won a rook, leaving him with a winning position.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or examples:
“The mere existence of an additional child or children in the family could signify Less. Less time alone with parents. Less attention for hurts and disappointments. Less approval for accomplishments. . . . No wonder children struggle so fiercely to be first or best. No wonder they mobilize all their energy to have more or most. Or better still, all.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
