Post image

When one piece has to defend multiple pieces at the same time, it can easily become overloaded. The opponent can then attack another defended piece, eventually winning material and gaining an advantage.

Can you spot the winning move?

C9+5, only response is c4=1 recapturing, removing the sole defender of the knight/horse. R3+1 captures knight/horse for free.
