Test your chess: Reitstein problem 41

White to play and win

BH Kerr v D Macfarlane 1982

Solution

Fairly straightforward today: after seeing that the trivial biff 1 Kd2 which also threatens Re1+ doesn't work (1..Rc6), the idea of switching the order of the moves, and playing 1 Re1 comes to mind, threatening a discovery check by either Kd2 or Kf1/3: both black rooks are LPDOs, and the black king is in a mating net.
