Test your chess: Reitstein problem 131

Black to play and win

KF Kirby v D Morschel 1966

Position after 1 Kf2-e2?

Solution

Not too hard today: 1…Ra8 threatens to take on a2, and if Rc2, d3+ (or, best preceded by g5); or if 2 a4 Bb3; and 2 Ra1 Bb3. So, black wins both queen side pawns, and then mops eventually without trouble.
