Keep it simple! Even in such a champioship game, I think Kopisch waited for a blunder!
Rd1. If Kh2, then Qg1.
1…. Rd1+
2. Rxd1 Qxc3 0-1
1. ….Rd1+
2. Kh2 Qg1+
3. Kg3 Rxc1 0-1
else
4. Qxc1 Qxc1 0-1
Rd1 without even thinking about it:
1. ……Rd1!
2. Kh2
Of course, if Rxd1, white’s queen hangs, however, that is a bit better than….
2. ……Qg1
With check, and now the rook at c1 hangs!
