This critical position is reached after the 46th move of a game between Stockfish and Deep Saros (see game below). Here, Deep Saros has just played 46...Nf6 threatening the white rook. Instead of trying to save the rook, Stockfish plays 47 Nxb5, and after 47...Nxh5, it plays 48 Nd6+ with a winning game.

The whole game for those who would like to watch it. It was a 2+2" blitz
