1.Qd3+ Kd3:+ 2.Kf5 Kd2#
1.Qd4+ Kd4:+ 2.Kf6 Kc5#
Good harmony between the two solutions and elegant position. I particularly like the white king going away from the black king.[MV]

a) 1.Bg3 Se4+ 2.Kd5 Se3#
b) 1.Rf7 Se5 2.Ke3 Sd5#
Interestingly, in both phases white knights resume their adjacent location. I would prefer two solutions instead of twinning.[MV]

Annihilations and self-pins with rather simple white strategy in a crowded setting.[MV]

1.hg4 Qh7 2.Sc4(A) Rb5:# [2.Sf7?(B) Sc4+ 3.Kc7, 2.Ra5?(C) Sd7+ 3.Kc7]
1.fg3 Qg3: 2.Sf7(B) Sc4# [2.Ra5?(C) Sd7+ 3.Kc7, 2.Sc4?(A) Rb5:+ 3.Kc7]
1.c2 Qc2: 2.Ra5(C) Sed7# [2.Sc4?(A) Rb5:+ 3.Kc7, 2.Sf7?(B) Sc4+ 3.Kc7]
Complicated anti-triple motivated by the WQ obligation to guard the square c7. To my opinion and knowledge, a very original conception.[MV]
