Daily puzzle: my pick of wonderful moves from 2016
I am starting the New Year with a fairly random selection of moves seen during 2016: skewed to the last few months, since I only thought of making such a selection in December, and then had to try to recall some of my favourite moments.

Solution
1 Rd5!
Lovely: maybe an “only” move, knowing it is a puzzle, but pretty nonetheless.
