Thx Milan.
I did not remember where I saw it, in a file or in the solving tests.
However, worth quoting it a second time !

Also the tries shown by Geoff Foster may be mentionned :

1.Qb6? [2.Qe6‡] Re8/Rd6 2.Q(×)d6‡ but 1…Bc6!
1.Qa6? [2.Qe6‡] Re8/Rd6 2.Q(×)d6‡ but 1…B×d4!

For technical purpose : I had a look on the old files, but my search went mainly to the 2 moves problems shown in the "show me your problem", then I did not find it.

A small story about this pb :

I shew it to a beginner, after a little while, I gave him the sol and the tries, he was stuck!
"...How could the author have such an idea ?..." and so on
A good success, I was pleased.

So I shew it to another beginner, after a little while, he shew me the sol and the tries, had a look at me...
we were both desolated !
