 Small Tactical Combination (very easy)
This should be very easy and should take you no longer than 10 seconds to find it. This comes from a game of mine.
Black to move and win material
Hidden Text Below - [Show it] - [Hide it Again]
Rxe4!
Not Bxh6?? Nf6+ winning the queen. This move wins material on the spot. It doesn't matter what white does, he will have a worse position and black is most likely be able to win the game.

Good one. I also like it because it could be a white to move and win puzzle.

for those that didn't work out what josh refers to:
Hidden Text Below - [Show it] - [Hide it Again] 1. Nf6+ Bxf6 2. Qxf6 Rxe1+ Rxe1 any Qg7#
best play will lose queenie:
1. Nf6+ Kh8 Bxg7+ Kxg7 Nxd7

But that wouldn't be a combination...

gooeyjim,
It seems like you always take a hostile stance to anything anyone posts in your threads. I was merely complimenting a position you posted.
What exactly is the point of posting this?

Hmm... I sound like that? I didn't know. I'll change that...
About that, a combination is anything that involves a sacrafice.

gooeyjim,
I realize that, but my point was just that:
A) I never said it was a combination
B) I never said whether the puzzle I suggested was easier or harder than the original combination.
Anyways, it doesn't really matter. The point is.... cool position!

Maybe you should scroll to the page in your chess dictionary with "combination" and strike through the "involves a sacrifice"-part. 1. Nf6+ Bxf6 2. Qxf6 is also a combination; it's actually a combination of two motifs: The triple fork with the knight and the mate on g7.
