It’s Your Move: daily chess puzzle # 79

Black to play and win

White plays 1 h3??

Reshevsky v Weinstein, 1963-64

Solution

At first, I tried to find a smothered mate, but there is none. Eventually I looked elsewhere and quickly found 1…Qf3+! and after the queen is captured, 2…Ne3+ forks the King and the LPDO Qc2. A quick check that the N isn’t trapped on c2, and once confirmed it isn’t, 0-1.
