Zabunov theme: The front piece (A) of a (usually white) battery (X) becomes the rear piece of another battery (Y) by playing behind the front piece (B) of the new battery. For the first time in threemovers the theme is implemented in 4 variations -Task! The additional play: Second thematic moves (Rd2, R2:g5) become mating ones with the change of mates on 2...Ke4. The previous achievement: A. Kuzovkov (MT A. Galitsky-150, 2014, 1 prize) - yacpdb-377817- three (3) thematic variations. The second move being mate in another variation is also a theme which is again gaining popularity now. (Seetharaman)

So the clear realisation by Igor Agapov is excellent task with 4 unique variations without repetitions!
