This is a good problem. It just uses the same tactic used by Dragoun. My criticism (as I already told Bala) is that active pinning or selfpinning of black pieces seems more like a helpmate theme — Of course used here nicely in a hs#
To my suprise, most of the participants to the 45th Latvian Chess Solving Championship 2018 failed to solve a very similar looking problem (no 7 in the 1st round). Solvers, next time you should read and solve Julia’s Fairies as mandatory preparation for the competition! 🙂
Vlaicu, thank you for the cute comment and for following our events!

I guess JF might look too scaring to Latvian solvers 🙂 Even HS# genre was!
But seriously, what I have found is that in online databases it is complicated to get selections of HS# problems without any fairy pieces/conditions. Any suggestions maybe? Aha, same on JF too, in the Search original problems I don’t have the “exclude” option.
No.7 from the 45th Latvian solving championship
