I am really ashamed that my problem 152 is totally anticipated by P1005099 and I was really unaware of it when I sent this problem to Kobulchess.com for publication. My apologies to Diyan.

Sometime its happen, don't worry Bala... The helpmates (especially in 2 moves) are usualy dangerous for anticipation in my view.

Ashamed is too strong a word in this context. It happens to many other experienced composers.
