1. Dxf5+? Lf4+ 2. Db1... 1. Df8? (2. Tf7 ~ 3. Txf5+ Lf4#), too slow; 1. - Tb1! With tempo? 1. Sh4+ Kf4? 2. Sg2+ Kf3 3. Dh5+! g4 4. Tf7 etc. However: 1. - gxh4!
Further progress depends on an essential discovery: bishop a7, guarding d4, impedes "selfmate in four moves"!
1. Lb8?/Ld4?* (2. Tf2+) cxb5!
1. Lg1!! thr. (2. Tf2+ Ke4 3. Dxf5+! Kd4 4. De5+ Kd3 5. De3+ Lxe3#) 1. - cxb5 (4. - Kd3/Kxc4!) gets the stones rolling... 2. Db7+ Lxb7 3. Tf7 (4. Txf5+) Le4! (4. - Lxf5!) And: 4. Se5+! Kf4 5. Le3+(!) Lxe3# 5. - Ke4??
*1. Ld4? cxb5 2. Db7+ Lxb7 3. Tf7 c2! 4. Txf5+ Lf4+ 5. Lxa1...
Genre-specifically motivated exchange of white queen against white rook in an arrangement of "flying" dynamic. Extensive full-length threat, surprising blocus-finale, provided by selective board-crossing key; thematic attempts and temptations...
Another typical and rich tactical challenge, achieving amazing logical depth in just 5 moves! (SJGT) Ausgezeichnet! (EZ)
As always, Camillo's inimitable style is displayed (Juror Ivan Sorokoa)
