Test your chess: Reitstein problem 147
Black to play and win
A O'Kelly de Galway v FJM Rodrigues 1962
Solution

Not too hard, 1…f4+! which is an example of Purdy's potassium cyanide, forking Kg3 and Re3, so the pawn must be captured, 2 Rf4, when 2…Qg2 is mate.
White was Belgian GM Alberic O'Kelly de Galway, the author of two books which influenced by development when a teenager as a chess player.
