The animation is working correctly. Only the notation is missing the departure squares. Needs correction of the underlying py2web script.

I think this task of 4 different answers to black AUW has not been done in orthodox S#2 many times. I know of only one such example.

It’s actually 6 different answers to a black super AUW (4 ortho plus 2 fairy promotions)

Seetharaman: there are even several various mechanisms, mostly realized by Michal Caillaud, but the first invented already by G. Hume.
E.g. yacpdb Nos. 86603, 86608, 258735, 367766, 304362. Recently Y. Ueda published some such selfmates in Problem Paradise.

Is there no better key?
Even Sf6-d5 looks more preferrable to me…

No, I am wrong – RL promotion available in this case, but the question still stays.

Ka1-b1 seems to work

Yes, Ka1-b1 works. Definitely, the key 1.RLb4-h4 is not ideal, as takes Black four moves in zugzwang position. On the other hand, it brings more dynamic in play, as creates answer for three variations.

In fact RLb4-h4 creates answer for 5 variations, while Ka1-b1 does it only for 4).
