Kramnik (2781) - Timofeev (2665), 2011
White to move


In this extremely complicated position Black has just retreated with the bishop from a3 to c5. Kramnik found an interesting idea - Rc5!?, and after a mistake by Timofeev (Rc5?) won the game rather quickly. However, after the forced 30.Rc5 Nc5 31.dc Qa1 32.Qf5 Rf8 33.Ng5 g6 34.Qh3 h5 35.Rf7! Black still could put up a bit of resistance after either Rf7 or Nd7.

Instead of Rc5, there was a beautiful forced win for White. Can you find it? As it is incredibly hard to see, the solution is posted in the comments.

1.Rc4!! threatening to win the queen, e.g. 1...Qa1 2.Ra4+- 
1...Qa6 (trying to escape and hit the White's rook) 2.Qb1! Now Rc5 is in the air 2...Na5 (2...Qa5 3.Bc3 Qa3 4.Rb3 Qa6 5.Rc5+-) This fork looks dangerous 3.Rb5! Nc4 4.Bc4 and Black is lost since too many of his pieces are hanging simultaneously.
