   f6 is a point of intersection and White strikes a blow there with the first move and then again with the second. The Nd5 is attacked so White sacrifices it near the opponent’s king to start an attack; this is also a “blow back” because the knight moves to attack both Black rooks. Both of White’s knight moves have more than one idea behind them (draw Black king out and clear c1-h6 diagonal for final queen move).
