(Classification of logical foreplan problems by W. von Holzhausen, see p. 32 of "Ideengeschichte")

Just one forced line starting with a R-sacrifice to deflect bNf7 from d6: 1. Rg5+ Nxg5 (interposing on the fifth rank leads to a mate in 4) 2. c4+ bxc3 e.p. 3. Nd6+ Ka5 (Kb4 4. Nc6#) 4. b4+ Kxb4 5. Nc6#. Not the transposition 1. c4+? bxc3 e.p. 2. Rg5+ Qf5! and mate is delayed by one move.
Adolf Ferdinand Svanberg (* 1.10.1806, † 27.9.1857) Swedish composer from Uppsala.
