'A bottomless pit opens, full of stars. Stars uncountable, a bottomless abyss.' - Mikhail Lomonosov

Stockfish 10 64 at depth 35 evaluates this position as "0.00". Can you find the Black win? Full credit for finding the first move.

 
 
Black to play and break through. Earlier in this analysis, Stockfish was convinced that the evaluation was "0.00" as it failed to see this resource from afar.
 
 
Where can Black players find such crazy attacking positions? When fighting the Smith-Morra, of course! Specifically after the following line, as covered by my Anti-Morra course.

Just thought I'd share some of my discoveries before I plunge myself back into the pit of stars. There is much treasure to be found, my analysis and discoveries aren't finished yet!

How funny, I just bought your Anti-Morra course before going to bed. And then I read this post just after I went to bedhappy.png

Cool coincidense. Looking forward to the Anti-Morrahappy.png
