wn on f5 can be the basis of many attacks on a castled bk due to the way it threatens g7. If wn checks from h6 or e7 with support from wq or a dark-squared wb, that could be checkmate.

92) Move wq so that a check from wn will win bq.

93) With wn on f5, clear bb, and maneuver wq to g4.
94) The magic is possible for black, too. wn just took bn at e5. Rather than take back, find the strategic placement for bq where White must lost wq or be mated.
95) The setup has been made. Use the strategically placed wn to win significant material.
96) Black can play this game, too. Sacrifice each bn to win wq.
