Submitted for publication to a leading chess problem journal in 2011 and rejected on the grounds that the only point of interest was Black’s first move and that such 'slaughter' PGs are easy to solve. I used it in the solving tournament at the British Chess Championships in Sheffield in 2011, but as that doesn't count as publication, it is presented here as an original.
