Cordingley puzzle 27

Black to play and win

Solution

I think the first few moves are straightforward, perhaps for want of better options. Black is almost forced to play 1…ef, which I think is intuitively better than 1…Qf4, since it gives a passed pawn.

The neat point is 5…c4! – a necessary move, time is of the essence, and others enable white to wriggle out.
