In 1961, Teipelke reached this position against Schweda and eventually lost. Yet, White could have won from this position.


Solution:

It’s fairly straightforward if you remember to move backwards! 1.f6+ Ke8 2.Qd2 Qxg2+ 3.Qxg2 Bxg2 4.Kxg2 Rh8 5.Rd7 b6 6.Re7+ Kf8 7.Rdd7 Kg8 8.Rxf7 e4 9.Rg7+ Kf8 10.Rdf7+ Ke8 11.Rxh7 Rg8 12.Re7+ Kd8 13.Rc7 Ke8 14.f7+ Kf8 15.fxg8Q+ Kxg8 16.Rcg7+ Kf8 17.Rh8+ Kxg7 18.Rxa8
