Interestingly the author has used the same reciprocal white pawn moves in a different scheme. Enjoy this problem also!

There are several versions showing how one could implement this idea, e.g:
b5r1/4p3/2B3R1/p5sp/K3s2p/Q4PP1/3b2k1/rR4Bq (8+12);
or even (8+10): 6r1/b1q5/2B5/6R1/b2B2sp/2K1s2p/1R3PPS/r5k1,
but I prefer the published one since it has more unity of the play.

By the way, there are no reciprocal white pawn moves in other my h#2 that was mentioned by Seetharaman.
I insert a picture of that problem:
