White to play.

1. Bxd5!
White threatens Nb5 if black takes with the c pawn and after exd5 Nxd5 white threatens Bc7 winning the queen if black takes the knight.

A classic tactic involving pressure on the c7 square.

1. Bxd5 exd5
2. Nxd5 winning a Pawn, since

2...cxd5 loses the black Queen after 3. Bc7.

This is often called the Rubinstein Trap.
