[Index of Chessprints]

Solution
 

Milieika - Petkevics Riga 1963 1.Ra7 Qb6 2.Rb7 ...and White wins because of the back rank mate threats.  A nice example of choosing your own poison for Black: whichever way he captures the rook, he gets mates; and if he doesn't capture the rook, he loses his queen!
