One way or another

 In chess there is often a fine line between winning and losing. At the club level, almost every game contains one or more missed chances, often not noticed until the silicon monster goes to work.

And so it was on Tuesday night at the Eastlake Gungahlin Chess Club. Ian Hosking went down in flames against Jerry Cheng, after Cheng sacrificed a rook for a devastating attack. But a few moves earlier, Hosking had the chance to play an unexpected, but incredibly strong move, which would probably have flipped the result from a loss to a win. Can you spot it?
