For me, most interesting part of this problem is a pinning hideaway of black queen. try 2…Qc7 in last solution is especially interesting.

Still, the cost is high – the pair of moves B1-W1 is quite tactically poor. Trying to solve the problem, I first attempted another approach and was somewhat disappointed that it did not work.

So, I have made some changes). This is not necessarily an improvement, but may be interesting.
