Test your chess: Reitstein problem 181

Black to play and win

IM Peenz v PE van der Walt 1989

Solution

In the game, black played 1…Ba3 and eventually won, but knowing it is a problem with a solution, 1…Bf2! is not too hard to see: the Qe1 is pinned on the first rank, and the Re2 is tied to defending the Qe1, so white is lost.
