- 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

- 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 world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be superadded.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
