Carlangas72 vs Sagar Shah, Online game

Black is in big trouble. You have to find the only defensive move he has to save the game.

When a problem is given to you to solve, for some the first feeling is that it's too difficult to solve. They want to give up and check the solution as soon as possible. My suggestion to you, would be to avoid the temptation of directly checking the solution. Give yourself some time, immerse yourself in the position and slowly you will see some ideas and tactics unravelling. And even if you were not able to find the answer, the workout of applying your mind, will make you a stronger player.
