Drawing the Black king away from his defenses. |

Black pins his own pawn. Nb5, threatening Qa7 or Qc7 crossed my mind, but it just looked like harrassment without actually threatening anything decisive. |

With a rook on the d file, the threat of Qc7 is far more dangerous. |

The knight will fall, but a rook planted on d7 (not to mention the bishop that used to be there) is more than enough compensation. |

I think there are better moves than this, but I saw a tactical shot that I couldn't resist... |

Although it was decisive here, Black fights to the bitter end. |
