h#2 4+7
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]

Interestingly, in both phases white knights resume their adjacent location. I would prefer two solutions instead of twinning.[MV]

Cyclic "Zilahi", cyclic white moves, cyclic change of white & black second move arrival squares and cyclic roles of black & white pieces.[A]

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

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]
