#3

1.Rb3! [2.Rd3           (3.Bb5#)
                Sc3, Sa3 3.R(x)c3#]

The bPe7 is interfered with twice, once by a bS and once by a bB.

In 1991 I took over directorship of the British Chess Solving Championship from John Rice. I composed this straightforward #3 for my first final, where it didn’t collect very many victims. There was one notable scalp, but he had set up the position incorrectly.
