Answer to Study: Jared Taylor vs Graham Horobetz ___ Jonesboro, Arkansas * Arkansas State Championship Round 6

Answer: 49...Qf7, leading to a forced Queen trade. Not the immediate move 49...g4, as 50.Rxf4 which is a nice trick. Black can't recapture due to 51.Qxg7#. After 49...Qf7, if White does not trade Queens and instead plays 50.Qe4, Black can then win White's Rook with 50...g4.
