Hello, I was trying not to even look at this so that others could try but I have to say I have never seen this before. With that said my solution is 1. …Re3+ 2. Kg4 f5+ 3. Kg5 Kg7 4. Nd5 Rh3
5. gh3 h6+ 6. Kh4 Bf2 mate.
Peace,
Kimani
4. … Rh3 that is where i was stuck at…
Difficult features include:
1) The apparent symmetry of Black playing f5 and h5, which is broken by the move f5 by white if black plays h5.
2) Rh3 as a lever to continue the assault on the dark squares
around White’s King.
Simple chess perspective of this problem:
Black is down a piece and has access to light squares with his pawns, dark squares with his King and Bishop. The Rook power
is needed for coordination, and direct threats must be sought
quickly if Black doesn’t want to suffer from being down a piece.
Peace…
