From David Shire’s article, a one-phase two-mover in ‘traditional’

Mate in 3
|
An old-fashioned Bohemian-style problem quoted by Don Smedley in his
selected three-movers. After a flight-giving key, two anticipatory
selfblocks are followed by sacrifices to produce model mates. A third
model follows when Black takes the flight.
1.Kg2 (2.Sf3+ Ke3 3.Qe5)
1...Sf6 2.Qb6+ Kxe5 3.Bd6 (2...Kc3 3.Qb4)
1...d2 2.Qc3+ Kxc3 3.Se2
1...Ke3 2.Sg4+ Kd2 3.Qa5 (2...Kd4 3.Qc5)
