Brilliant interchange of white moves. The white king position determines the order!
Bonus is the variation 1...Qe6 showing the interesting dual avoidance mates!

4 fold Loshinsky magnet style continuations..
Deferred in try and immediate after key..
W move sequence determined by possibility of Bl check on 2nd move: 2..e3-e2+ in try and 2..Rd7-b7+ after key..
Effective use of Vao/Pao and Pao/Equihopper batteries..
Seems like whether the Equihopper should be non-stop or stoppable does not matter..?

The Equihopper must be stoppable on queen-lines (aka English equihopper); with a non-stop (aka French) equihopper, the black defences have no meaning which would destroy the whole idea of the composition.
