White to move and win

His main achievement in chess composition is the victory in the competition of etudes of the magazine Fodor Illustrations-Verlag (1930). Then Hansssen managed to get ahead, in particular, Leonid Kubbel.

Solution: 1. Nd6 (threatens 2. Nc8). 1... Nf4 2. d5 Rg8 3. Ne8 Rxg2+ 4. Kh1, and White win.
