Beautiful, matched sequence of 9 moves, 7 of them by Bishops. Showing annihilation clearances and self pins on line a3-f3, B/W Indians with switchbacks on lines b3-g8 and c3-h8, remote self blocks by the WBs, self blocks by different pieces on e4, exchanges of functions between the Bishops, move exchanges and ending with model mates.
A real Bishops carnival. One for the HS# anthologies!
HS#s where B is in zugzwang on the last move add an additional dimension: as well as the BK, any free B pieces have also to be immobilised.
Beautiful!
