No way out

Sort:

I encountered this situation in a recent game analysis.  It was a line that didn't occur in the actual play but the analysis engine pointed it out after.  I couldn't believe what the best/recommended move for black was in this situation.  Not sure if it's really a good puzzle but hopefully it is at least interesting, I don't often come across real-game situations that remind me of puzzles.

Sorry, it's my first time inserting a game into a post, looks like I didn't make it playable inside the post. It is black to move, and if you click the link on the board to go into analysis view, and then play vs. the computer, it will show the answer of black's best move here, if you do the hint. Or have fun trying to play your way out of the check any other way.
