    White to move and win. Don't move until you see it!

    But not too easy for you to bother posting the solution...

    Nice puzzle 🙂 Do you have the game that it came from? I write a free chess tactics e-mail newsletter (sign up at http://tacticstime.com), and this is the type of problem I like to use in there! Realistic position, 1-3 move combination.

    The newsletter comes out every other day, and I think that most people who enjoy reading the forums here would like it! I use a ton of RHP games.

    She did post the solution, in spoiler from. You just unwittingly made it more visible.

    I'm not sure if it even came from a real game. I got it from an archived Chess Cafe article, and the author Dan Heisman attributes it to a Reinfeld book on tactics (he doesn't name the book though).

    You can find the article here: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/heisman05.pdf

    Also, I will give your newsletter a look. If there's one area of my game that desperately needs improvement, it's tactics.

    Apologies if I spoiled the fun for some by reply&quote showing the hidden.

    Fact remains that comments saying problems like these are 'too easy' are utterly useless and denigrating.
