Composing #3 (Fairy) with multiple threats
I have attempted an #3 (with Anticirce condition) wherein the key threatens to open a R line for mating subsequently. Opening of the line is achieved by WK, which can move to 4 different squares. Black can defend in four ways and for each defence, there is a unique WK move (thus the threats at move2 get seperated. Is it a desirable concept-employing dualistic threats at move2?
I would request for views from our well-informed members.

There is nothing wrong with the Fleck theme,
even outside of orthodox #2 ;-)
Hauke
P.S. Check-your-Fleck:
1. Are the threats harmonizing? Since it's a K battery
(OK, Fleck theme disallows batteries but this is a mere naming issue)
this surely can be answered in the positive.
2. Does the solver have to engage a detective to find the moves
which make the White moves unique? (Best, of course, only
these exist at all!) *This* is the crucial question for your
problem if it has a multiple threat.

Thank you so much, Hauke. I shall progress with the problem.

I like those Fleck type problems where the multiple threats are separated by the most prominent black moves (preferably by the same piece) or when the multiple threats are virtual or pseudo (ie. each of the available black moves allow only one mate).

Lovely problem. Just what i meant. The white move cycle makes it a great problem. Another nice example for your intended book !

It could be a nice decoration for the cover page, too!
