I was going through games my program my program played and came across this position.
[d]4k3/5pB1/p3bPr1/1p1qn1pp/5r1P/P1Pp2R1/1P1Q1NP1/R5K1 b - - 0 35
When I saw the move, I thought it was a blunder, but stockfish very quickly showed a winning advantage. Do others have as much difficulty seeing the winning move as I did?

The trick is took at the defenders and what can you do to peel them away. Without working all the variations , I would say after 45 seconds, I was on to the correct move. Sf was on it in 0.04 seconds and that was with just one core.
