Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0069

Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves

1. Nxf3+, Bxf3, Bxh1

Explanation for the moves

1. Nxf3+ - Your knight sacrifices itself to gain the rook later. With this check, since the king is unable to move, the pawn is forced to capture your knight.
2. Bxf3 - Your bishop captures the pawn and forks the opponent’s queen and rook at the same time. Opponent’s queen will not capture your bishop since it is supported by the queen.
3. Bxh1 - Your bishop captures the opponent’s hanging rook. This is how you can gain a rook.
4. exf3 - Pawn from e file captures your knight. This is a zugzwang move
5. Qc2 - Opponent realised that they will lose one piece among queen and rook. They moved the queen out of fork since the queen is more valuable than a rook
6. For right move - You have lost a knight but gained a knight and a rook. It was an advantage in terms of material
7. For wrong move - You could have sacrificed your knight to gain the rook by a bishop fork. Try again
