An attractive single-line helpmate. White begins and mates on his fourth
move.
1...Rb2 2.Qc2 Re1 3.Qg6 Rbe2 4.Kf5 Rxe5.
A line clearance helps the queen reach g6. White’s second move is the only available way to waste a move, after which the b2 rook completes a switchback before going on to mate.
Richard Stein: A cute and pleasant piece of solving. To make way for the black queen, the white rooks have to switch positions in the battery. Very pretty. It took less time for me to solve this problem than to figure out what the black pawn was doing on b7, which economically wipes out a raft of cooks with the white rooks on d5 and e5.
