			<description><![CDATA[I should note that the consecutive play by white direct battery and two other white batteries after transformations of the white indirect half-battery was in my mind for many years and together with Andrey Selivanov we finaly realized it during the WCCC 2014 in Bern. We published it in Die Schwalbe and it was selected for the FIDE Album 2013-2015. But there all mates by the black battery was the same and the white Q-R battery played on only in two different ways. Here in the threat and thematic variations we have 3 different mates and 3 different white Q-R battery play (well, together with the side variation there is also 4th opening of the white battery with wR cross). Also in all variations (including the side one) the black pieces first block a square and after that unblock it with Keller paradox in the main variations and bK playing on the same thematic square which I think is very good improvement. The whole thematic complex is realized here for the first time. You can see our old problem: http://i.imgur.com/ko7bJoU.png]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There was several versions of the problem and the initially published was wrong. I prefere the side variation here and the better key instead in the initially wrong published.]]></description>
