1st Prize, The Problemist, 1977/II

Mate in 2

The capture of bPd7 by a white unit introduces a threat of 2.Se6#.

1.Sxd7?  cxd3 x 2.Rxb4#, but 1...Sxd3! y
1.cxd7? Sxd3 y 2.Sc6#, but 1...cxd3! x (wRb7 is pinned)

1.Rbxb7! cxd3 x 2.Qxb4# and 1...Sxd3 y 2.Qxd5#

The mates for both x and y are changed; the same pattern as Chris Reeves’s A in the original tourney announcement. There is an extra correction phase here. 1.Rexd7? Sxd3 2.Qxd5 - 1...Rxd3! (2.Sxf5?)
