Test your chess: Reitstein problem 109

White to play and win

GS Miller v J Wolpert 1958

Solution

Fairly easy today: 1 Rd5! is a natural biff, and it is fairly straightforward seeing that it works: 1…cd 2 Bd5+ Kh8 3 Qf8mate. Black's last move before the diagram was Qd8-c7??: far better would have been Qe7, protecting the Rf8.
