Even if Camillo's inimitable style is familiar, you'll probably agree, that this problem is full of surprises (Stephen Taylor im Vorspanntext)
Some failing attacks: 1. Txe2+? fxe2 2. Df2+ Sxf2! 1. De6+? Kxd4! 1. - Kf4? 2. Dg4+ Ke3 3. De4+ Sxe4# 1. Dh4? (2. De4+) ~xf2+! 1. Te8+? Txe8 2. ??
Thematic: 1. De5+? Se4+ 2. Dxa5... That means: La5 must not move! 1. c5? avoiding horizontal interference (2. De5+ Se4#) 1. - bxc5! preparing vertical interference (3. Tb4...)
1. Lb1!! (2. Dg5+ Kxd4 3. Se6+ Kc3 4. Dxd2+! Kb3 5. Sc5+! Ka3 6. Dc3+ Lxc3#) 1. - Txb8 (5. - bxc5!) 2. c5! (3. De5+) Te8! → defence replacement, Dresden 3. Se6! Txe6 4. Txf3+ Lxf3 5. Sf1+! exf1L/S 6. Df4+! Kxf4#...
Brilliant logical selfmate and a real masterpiece! (Judge Jiri Jelinek)
