[@stevemuzira9155]

Wow! Masterclass from Gukesh!!

[@DineshKumar-yh7gy]

There are two reasons for the same 1) queen rook fork 2) knight could challenge other black knight in the middle square & if taken & counter taken by white bishop would centralise bishop & cover both side diagonals which is very strong

[@markwardle8772]

Answer is because of the queen rook fork threat

[@brettmoore3194]

Yea that knight would of made one of them drop

[@venkateshas1381]

After Nb3, it's possible to to play Nc6 forking Queen and the Rook.

[@chetannagrecha6243]

Why didn’t black queen take bishop at d3 instead of resigning in the last move

[@amitjain11000]

does not prevent Q*f6 check from white and then black's position collapses. First knight is gone and then rook and multiple mate opportunities.
