- Well, of course - in the variation 1.. Nf5 2. Nf4+ exf4 - 3. Rxh2 has to be played first before Bxg4+ becomes possible, see Bruno's solution for the fix.

- "The 'Strange Loop' phenomenon occurs whenever, by moving upwards (or downwards) through levels of some hierarchial system, we unexpectedly find ourselves right back where we started." Douglas R. Hofstadter (* 1945) "Introduction: A Musico-Logical Offering" in "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid" (1979).
Magyar Sakkélet, Jan 1953 (988). A good chess puzzle. There are strong black threats (1.. a1Q, hxg1Q, exd5+), so the hidden key 1. Kd3! avoids the check on d5 and clears the e-file to threaten the forced 2. Rxe5+ Nf5 3. Rxf5+ exf5 4. Qxf5+ Rg5 5. Bxg4# which would follow on 1.. hxg1Q. The main variation is 1.. a1Q 2. Rxe5+ Qxe5 3. Bxg4+ Kxg4 and now a Q-sacrifice to decoy the bK 4. Qf3+ Kxf3 5. Nxe5#. On 1.. e4+ 2. Rxe4 (3. Bxg4#) Bxd1 3. Nf4+ Kxh4 4. Nxg6+ (double check) 5. Rh4#; 1.. Nf5 2. Nf4+ exf4 (Kxh4 3. Rxh2+ Kg5, Bh3 4. RxB#) 3. Bxg4+ Kxh4 4. Rxh2+ Kg5 5. Rh5#. The problem is not listed in Meson, PDB Server, and yacpdb does not give the solution, so my solution should be accepted with a grain of salt :-)
