3rd HM Bakonyoszlop C 30.4.1998

a) 1.d6 Sxg6 2.c6 Bb6 3.Re6 c4#
b) 1.Re5 Sg2 2.c5 Ba5 3.d5 c3#

JC:
Representing of Black & White pawn moves with Black battery play and line opening of the first moving piece.

JL:
Very fresh idea of movement of whole line of black units 1 or 2 squares together. If only Re7 could be pawn...
