Black now moves 1...Rxh4?; White responds with a zwischenzug

The diagram shows another example. Black, on move, plays

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.
