Today's puzzle:

White, to move, has already sacrificed two pieces. What move would he like to play and how does he get to play it?

Solution to last puzzle:
Paul McVeigh - Simon Wilson
Marlwood Trophy, Bristol 1987
20.Qxe7!! Kg8 If 20...Kxe7 21.Bc5 Kf6 22.g5# or in this line 21...Qd6 22.Bxd6+ Kd7 23.Be5+ wins.
21.Bxa7 Rxa7 22.Qxa7 Qc8 23.e5 1-0

Sorry Sean but you know the saying: "never let the truth get in the way of a good story!"
