Sugsy's Puzzles 2

21st September 2008

The Black king is under siege and his castled position has been demolished by Rybenko, who sacrificed a piece to attain the below position. The Black's army has been reduced to a passive huddle and his extra piece is insignificant in view of his vulnerable king position. The pawn on g6 is crucial and the key factor in inducing a decisive attack. White's next turn initiated a tactical sequence which forced Dushenok to capitulate. Demonstrate the winning tactic.
