White to play and win

PJ Foley v D Gluckman 1993

Solution

A rest day today. 1 Bb5 and white wins the exchange, at least (though Reitstein says 'loses a piece' meaning he ignores black's 'best' 1…Kf7 2 Be8+ Ne8 when he is 'not dead yet' (but it is 1-0).

If instead 1…Nc6 then 2 Re8 Ne8 3 Rc1 and the pin wins a knight.
