There are more checks and a bit of a net develops with h3, h4 and h5 all covered - but still feel like an Albion striker...

Agree that Ba5 seems to be a hammer blow if allowed... Seems "impossible" to get anything to work out well for white. I'm assuming this puzzle is VERY difficult to work out and as such likely to be well beyond my capability.

I won't get it if its really hard. A window on the level of my thought processes.... Queening the d pawn seems essential for white unless there is some mating net with bishop and knight possible - if the puzzle is really complex then it could involve queening the g pawn (but I can't work that...

I think it is this. Bishop pinning Queen is other potential feature of what follows and the end comes quickly...

Do you mean Qg5+ (using current notation)...? Doesn’t lead directly to mate but allows rook capture so to be a pawn up and winning position...?

Then what after Kf1..?

Does that move include a Gross turn and change of direction? [emoji28]

How does that continue after KxR...?

Black to play. (“Double attack: Luring”)
