b) 1.Rf5 Ba7 2.Bg3 Re6: 3.Kf4 Be3#
Line opening for anticritical self-block before BK's move. Same destination squares for black and white first move are nice touch. [Milan Velimirovic]
Beautiful, harmonius solutions. [Jorma Paavilainen]

Grimshaw after critical, anti-bristol-like moves in order to enable white king's battery to opperate. Pin mate in second unfortunatelly does not have the corresponding pin mate in diagram position. [Milan Velimirovic]
