Test your chess: Reitstein problem 135

May 8, 2014

What is black's best resource?

(White threatens both Qh6+ and Bb3, winning the queen)

 

 

LR Reitstein v D Isaacson 1960

 

Solution

 

May be I don't 'get' this puzzle, since 1..g5 is a natural try, and likely the only one: and the game goes on. If 2 Bb3, black gets both rooks for the queen by 2…Qb1+ and 3…gh4.
