Clever choice of Neutral Locust, the under- promotions and the dual avoidance – all quite pleasing!

Thanks Ganapathi. As another friend mentioned it is actually simple battery play, embellished by dual avoiding. Hope it attracts the less experienced.

There is an issue: White Bishop makes a pure tempo move in one solution and moves out of future attack in another.

Thanks Goergy. You are right. I noticed it too, wish both were tempo moves.

Dear Bala and Seetharaman, the idea is yours and I don’t think that such a simple suggestion makes me a true co-author.
On the other hand, it would certainly be my pleasure being in company with you, for we’ve always had the very nice and enlightening discussions.
