Test your chess: Reitstein problem 146

Black to play and win

L Wilken v KF Kirby 1952

Solution

1…Be5! was a move I saw instantly, and in the same instance saw that it won: the Rd6 is LPDO, as is the Pf4, and all white can do is retreat his rook, say 2 Rd3, when his f4 pawn falls, with white having no compensation.
