Chess Puzzle

Best of luck with this one.


Black found the quickest win in this position, Can you?

Solution to yesterday's puzzle.
D. Friedgood - F. Korostenski
Jan Smuts Holiday Inn Open 1977
In the diagrammed position White can actually play 1.Kxe3! If now 1...b1=Q 2.Rc8+ and Black must play his King to the b-file: 2...Kb3 3.Rb8+ Kc2 4.Rxb1 Kxb1 and White wins easily.
