Daily chess puzzle

Today’s problem is from the August 1979 Chess magazine. I have hundreds (many hundreds) of magazines on my book shelves, and I thought I would dip into them; and thought I would start with going forty years back.

As has been my custom on this blog for a while, I adopt the style of only saying which side is to play: and not giving an idea if the move wins or otherwise, unless on occasion I think signposting would be helpful. Instead, the problems are posed with the instruction to decide what you would play, as in a game.

Black to play

Grunefeld v Lind, Lloyds Bank Open London 1978

Solution

1…b3 2 ab[] Qb8!!

White’s best is 3 gf giving up the exchange: 3…Rh4.

The above is not all: I will add a further puzzle tomorrow on this position.
