Calvo v Hamann, Clare Benedict, Menorca 1974

 

Solution

 

Not too hard, since, knowing there is a win, and with so few possibilities, any idea has to be tried.

1…h3[] 2 Kh4 g1(Q)+! is the key move, and once seen, it is clear the game is over. 3 Bg1[] Kg2 and the h pawn gets shouldered through.
