• Side to move: white.
• Difficulty: advanced.
• Goal: Checkmate Black by taking the Ma on g3 with check and preserving the knight net.
• Key idea: The bia-ngai capture is a forcing clearance move: it wins material, gives check, and opens the exact squares the two Ma need for mate.
• Takeaway: When a bia-ngai capture gives check and removes a key defender, calculate the king net before rushing to the obvious Ma check.
