2024-05-07 11:55:11, by problemist: "The unities, sir… are a completeness—a kind of universal dove-tailedness with regard to place and time."

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Nicholas Nickleby, ch. 4, 1838–1839.

This nice problem is not listed in the databases. The idea is to clear the f-file for a mate by Qf1, but 1. Kg4?, Kg2? Bc8+!, cxb6! thus 1. Kg3 (2. Qf1#) releasing the pin of wNd5 and provoking two discovered checks 1.. cxb6+, c6+ answered by the cross-check mates 2. Nf4# (using the pin of bBb7), Ndc7# (to guard e8) showing dual-avoidance. Further 1.. Ba6 (Bc6, Bc8), d3, Bxd5 2. Nd6# pin mate, Qf4#, Qxd5#.

"Lieutenant Gerald Frank Anderson MBE, DFC, was a Colony of Natal born flying ace. During World War I, he was accredited with eight aerial victories. [..] Anderson became famous in the chess problem world, having begun composing problems as early as 1912. He published three books on chess problems, a collection of his own problems entitled "Adventures of my chessmen 1914-23", a 1959 collection of Kriegspiel problems entitled "Are there any?" and a 1971 collection of problems by American composer Vincent Lanius Eaton, with whom he established a composing partnership in the 1950s while stationed at the British Embassy in Washington. In addition, the British Chess Problem Society published a collection of his problems in 1974 entitled "A tribute to G.F.Anderson". He also played against World Champion Alexander Alekhine in 1946 in Lisbon, a day before Alekhine died."
