447. Zoltan Labai (Slovakia)
25.09.2014
446
 #2                             (9+2)
 
 

Try: 1.Kc6? (2.Sbd3#)  1…Kf4!

Try: 1.Rd3? (2.Bh2#) 1…Kf4! 

Try: 1.Sc6+? 1…Kd6 x 2.Rd3# 1…Kf4!

Try: 1.Rg7? A 1…Kd6 x 2.Bh2# B 1…Kf4! 

Try: 1.Sbd3+? 1...Kd6! 

Solution 1.Bh2! B (2.Rd3#)

1…Kd6 x 2.Rg7# A 

1…Kf4 2.Sbd3#

1…Kd4 2.Sc6# 

The thematic moves are Sbd3, Rd3 and Bh2.  The repeated black refutations are the only weakness of the fine problem. One can see the Salazar theme also in this. (Seetharaman)
