Test your chess: daily chess puzzle

Alas, due to a technical hitch (*), for the next couple of weeks I will not be posting daily problems from Reitstein's book. I will be able to again in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I am going to post daily random problems, many taken from my own games, but others as well.

Solution

A little tactic today, black players have fallen several times into this Morra trap. 1 Bb6 and it is game over.

Admission/confession: alas, I left my copy of Reitstein in our holiday home, and I hope it is still there when we return in October. One of the most foolish things I have ever done.
