Test your chess: Reitstein problem 122

White to play and win

C de W de Klerk v A Schobi 1954

Solution

Straightforward: 1 Ng6! has to be tried, and the only things which need to be seen are that it threatens both Ne7 mate and Qh8 mate, and that if 1…fg 2 Bd5+ wins easily: 2…Be6 3 Be6+ wins the house.
