- A problem with a Bohemian flavor. An immediate 1. a7? fails to 1.. Bg2! In the solution by a Roman decoy the bB has to defend from f3 which unpins the wN. The quiet key sacrifices the wQ on e2 and threatening 2. Qd1 3. Bxb3#. On 1.. BxQ, Re7, b5, Be5 there follows 2. a7, Kxh4, Bxb3+, Qxe5 Bf3, ~, Kxb3, ~ 3. Nb2# (pin model mate), Nb2#, Nc5# (model mate), Qb5#.
