It’s Your Move: daily chess puzzle # 119

White to play and win

Stein v Liberzon, Erevan 1965

Solution

The first move is obvious, but the position depends on seeing the nice move further into the combination, one which produces a smile:

1 Qh6+ Bh6[] 2 Rh6+[] Kg7[]

3 Rh7+! Kf6[] 4 Rf8 mate. Pretty.
