Something like 1...Re2 maybe, and then on 2.Rxe2, 2...Qc7! forking mate and the Rook on f4?
A BEAUTIFUL and unexpected move
Sort:
Yeah, I agree with Mainline_Novelty with Re2.
gxf6 and Black is fine...I think. Only glanced at it, off to eat now! :D!!!
I remember watching this, and Re2 is correct. This was a key game in the World Youth, where Kayden eventually came back from a 1 point deficit in the final round, defeating the leader in clutch fashion.
The point is, if gxf6 now white has Rxf5! So, Re2 first. One of the most beautiful moves I've ever seen. That's way Kayden is an IM!
mainlines right
Re2 is correct.
Black's Queen is hanging, White's pieces are gathered around Black's king, and so what does Black do? He seemingly does nothing about these two problems and instead just hangs his rook.
Surprisingly, this move wins and it's the ONLY move that does. ALL other moves lose.
I first saw this game here.

Christof Sieleck, a German IM, also appreciated the move, enough to put together a video of it. In the video he goes over some of the lines.
This position is why we all love chess so much... why it's such a great game. This position is from last year (2012) at the World Youth Championships.
P. Voronstov vs. K. Troff
Black to play. (Black played Rc2, attacking White's bishop that was on b2 and White replied to this by moving the bishop to f6!)
Most of you, myself included, probably wouldn't find Black's reply over-the-board. And I'll wager that most of you won't find it, even now, even after I present the postion and say there's a winning move. Most of you will need an engine to find it. (I did.)
But it's the only move that wins. Everything else loses.
