The below position occurred after a tense middle game. Black had left the rook undefended for counter threats against the king based on the pin along the diagonal. Reaching the critical position, Kveinys noticed Black's threats and uncorked an elegant combination which concluded the game in 3 moves with a mating attack. It is difficult to spot the only correct choice with few pieces in a wide open position.

You are doing well if you solve it in 5 minutes.
