Whites play and win

By waiting for the blow of Tartakover (who had Whites) Khon had to get impatient: A rather easy black benefit is indeed blindingly obvious to us:

1. Dg3 2. fxg3 fxg3 + 3. Matt Rg1 Td1!

Yes but here feature is in Tartakover Qui am not Khon

Solution is under the picture!

Found was needed a blow with double sharp side: offensive to win and defensive not to lose!

And alone 1. Df8 fills this double function!

The threat of checkmate of the Blacks is parried:

1. Dg3 +? 2. fxg3 fxg3 + 3. Rg1 Td1 + 4. Df1 Txf1 + 5. Rxf1

and Tartakover stays with a tower furthermore.

And the threat of checkmate of Whites is unstoppable, even if the blacks can try the pretty 1. Tg3:

2. Txg7 + Dxg7 3. Df5 + and the Blacks left

(3. Tg6 4. Txg7 + Rxg7 5. De5 + and 6 Dxd4 was hopeless.)
