From this position, Black wins in 4 moves. How ?
Highlight the following space to get the solution:
1. …C7+4 (threatening a mate in one.)
2. C5=3 (sacrificing a cannon to thwart the threat) E7-9
( a dismount, so to speak)
3. C4=3 (repeating the delaying tactic) C7+4
(checking anyway.)
4. C3-7 H9+7 checkmate.
