selfmate in 5

Black: Na8, a7, g7, Qh7, e6, g6, Kc4, h4, Nb3, e2, Bd1
White: Rd8, Nb7, c6, b5, f5, Ka4, a3, Bc3, Nd3, Rh3, Qa2, d2, Bg2

Thematische Probe:
1. La5? Selbstblock (2. Dxb3+ Lxb3#) Sb6+!
2. Lxb6...und die Drohung (3. La5, Switchback, etc.) wird pariert.

Devise: pirschen...

1. Lb4! (2. Sd6+ Kd4 3. Sc8+ Kc4 4. Sb6+! axb6 5. Dxb3+)
1. - Dg8/Dh8 sieht gut aus, aber:
2. Sd6+ 3. Sc8+ Dxd8(?) 4. Lc3+, Switchback! Kc4 5. Dxb3+
Deshalb:
1. - Sc7 (3. - Sd5!)
2. La5! Sd5, anstatt - Sb6+ (3. - Kd4!)
Das turbulente Fazit:  
3. Txh4+!! → antizipativ fluchtspezifisches Opfer; Dxh4
4. Se5+! Kd4
5. Da1+ Sxa1#
6. Kb4??! 6. Tb3??!

3. - Kxd3 4. Sc5+! Sxc5#
3. - Sf4 4. Dxb3+ Lxb3#

Step by step bishop c3 directs knight a8 to the middle of the board. Result: an adventurous finale full of breathtaking moments.

Replacement-defence (here: Roman) leads to consecutive motive-inversions (EZ)
