Two picture-perfect quadruple pin mates with ODT!
Three pairs of function exchange between WR/WB, WQ/WR and the two W Paos.
In each solution, the inactive pin line is used the the K3 to reach its intermediate square. This also avoids duals by the interchange of W1/W2 moves.
The two W Paos only seem to be doing Rook duty. So, they could possibly be replaced with Rs?
