White to Play and Win
White is in a bind here. Black threatens 1...Rxh3+ 2.gxh3 Qxh3+ 3.Qh2 Qxh2 mate. Thus, White can't play 1.e8=Q as he gets mated. Boris Spassky figured a wild way to beat Viktor Korchnoi as Black, but there are actually two really great ways to win here. Pick one of the two and be proud!
