Confused

I was studying Capablanca's Chess Fundamentals and came across this position in Chp 3 Example 43 Attacking w/o Knights. Capablanca states "It is Black's move and as he is a Knight and pawn behind he must win quickly, if at all." The text continues with "1...Rdg8! 2.Rf2 [If 2.Qxe7 Rxg2+ 3.Kh1 Bd5 and mate follows in a few moves.] 2...Rxg2+ 3.Kf1 Bc4+ 4.Nxc4 Rg1#".

 I am wondering about White's response to 1...Rdg8 2.Rf2. I can't see how Black could win if White played 2.Bxg5?

I have serious tactical blindness sometimes but I've looked at this from different angles and can't figure out what I'm missing?  

I don't know, seems like B:g5 wins

Your eyes belie your rating deanrd7 - Bxg5 and Black can resign right then and there - nice find!

I keep thinking this was a misprint but his comments about Black being down a Knight and a pawn concur with the position on the board. There has to be an explanation. Capablanca's a genius and would not have missed that.

Not really sure what my rating is as I've just started and only played two games. The first was with a greeter which I won but learned it was not rated :( And I lost the second one. I have not played chess for years but really enjoy the site and looking forward to getting back in shape.

Thanks for the letting me know I'm not totally blind lol.  

My pleasure - enjoy the site!

  The diagram in the book shows the black rook on G4, not G5.

Well that hurts!

Interesting. I don't have the actual book but the pdf. And the pdf shows the rook on G5. I did a search and found a digitized copy of the original book and you are correct: the Rook is on G4. Like I said, I knew there had to be an explanation. 

I have to think that they were going off what was played instead of best move.
