I like the facet in a), where 1…Rb7 distinguishes itself from try 1…Ra7, which does not work due to inability of realizing the self-block at b4. Chessboard not big enough to show the bishop going to a2 in two moves omits a self-block. Still, very good twin.
Yes, the mechanism is not perfect but airy economical position is attractive 🙂
