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.

    “Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “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)
