"Shown are three Q-sacrifices. The key, sacrificing the wR on e3" -- i trust problemist is right

before my seeing comments: My solution [arrived to through the 32-pixel, B&W, restartable-moving-pieces setting]: in view of the possibility\s: after white bishops’ move black king escapes \ south rook capture of bishop followed by queen mate , to mate with queen from northwest after east-black-knight move followed by white-king move to west [or to queen mate], white's raone starts

Shown are three Q-sacrifices. The key, sacrificing the wR on e3 creates the threat 2. Qe6+ KxQ 3. Bg4# when bBe4 is pinned by wRe3. 1.. PxR opens the 4-th rank so that 2. Qxd5+ the next Q-sacrifice to decoy bBe4 2.. BxQ 3. Bg4# (2..Kf4 3. Qg5#). Finally 1.. Qa6 unguards f3 so that the third Q-sacrifice follows 2. Qxf4+ KxQ 3. Rxf3# another pin mate. 2nd Prize, Norsk Vanforetidsskrift 1953. FIDE Album. A spectacular problem. The solver may spot the idea of Qe6+ followed by KxQ Bg4# and look for a way to eliminate the defense Bf5 leading to the key. Though I don't subscribe to Bruno's low hardness rating.
