Black's threat to promote his b3 pawn is imminent in this position. White cannot prevent this but can win black's queen in exchange for his rook: 1.Rb7 b2 2.Kh2 b1Q 3.Bc5 Qxe4 4.Re7+ Kd5 5.Rxe4 Kxe4 6.Bxb4 (6.h6? Bc3!) 6... axb4 7.h6 and wins (7... b3 8.h7 b2 9.h8Q and black cannot play b1Q due to Qh7+.) |
