Test your chess: Reitstein problem 127 (2)

Black to play and win

W Heidenfeld v M Kolnik 1947

White has just played Bb8-c7, missing the move which was the 'solution' to this morning's previous posting. How could black have won (he missed the win, in fact)

Solution

Not too hard: examine all biffs means that 1…e3+ has to be considered, when if 2 Ke3, Nd5+ forks the Ke3 and LPDO Bc7. And if white doesn't take on e3, black wins after 2…Na8 and 3 Ke4.
