Test your chess: daily chess puzzle # 167

A two part puzzle today, given as separate postings.

Part one

Black to play and win

KF Kirby v P Kroon 1967-68

Solution

Simple enough, when you know it is a puzzle: the rook lift 1…Rf5 decides.

All white can do is grovel on, with 2 Nf1 Rh5+ 3 Qh5 gh, but it is clearly hopeless.
