Test your chess: Reitstein problem 236

White to play and win

P Kunne v R Faraday 1985

Solution

Fairly simple today, especially when you start with examine all biffs, with the first to be tried being 1 Rg7, which on inspection can be seen to be good. 1…Rg7[] 2 Qh8+ when 2…Kf7 leaves the Qd8 LPDO and so 1-0, or 2…Ke7 when 3 Qg7 is mate.
