Test your chess: daily chess puzzle # 161

White to play and win

RJ Shaw v S Van de Venter 1997

Solution

This one isn't too hard, but is optically tricky. But as soon as you see 1 Rg7! Qf3+ (say) 2 Rg3 disc +, then the rest is easy. After 1 Rg7! Ng7, the LPDO Qf3 drops off, and after 1…Rg7 2 Bg7+ Kh7, 3 Bf6+ mates.
